Credit Score Monitoring And Starting A New Business

For those planning to start their own business, credit score monitoring is an important and “must-do” step, which helps protect a businesses' ability to borrow from lenders, at competitive interest rates. In getting a deeeper understanding of the value of credit score monitoring, a business owner must first analyze how their business credit profile is built, and learn what the score really means, as well as find out exactly who looks at it. Here are some facts about credit score monitoring and starting a new business.

What's A Business Credit Score?

Every business entity that borrows will generally have a business credit profile, from which the business credit score is taken from. While a number of firms track business profiles, the main business profile tracker is the Paydex system, which works like the FICO score for personal credit score.

Why Monitoring The Credit Report Is Important For Small Business Owners

One of the most important aspects that aspiring business owners needs to do, is monitor their credit report. By making sure that their credit report is in stable condition, aspiring business owners can increase their chances of receiving business loans which offer flexible interest rates. Every person is entitled to a free credit report each year, and a good place to start checking on your credit rating is by going to the three major credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.

How To Monitor Your Business Credit Score

When monitoring your business credit score from systems like Paydex, you need to bear in mind that the Paydex score ranks how early, or how late, you fulfill your debt payments. For example if you get a 70 on the Paydex system, this indicates that your business is 15 days late when making loan payments, and will certainly be considered a poor score. However, if your business scores an 80, this will indicate that your business pays its debts on time, or pays them in advance.

How Lenders View Your Business Credit Score

Most business creditors today expect their clients, or just about any other business entity, to have a Paydex account, as well as a business credit score. Most lenders take a close look at a company's business credit score, before considering to lend them any amount of money. Credit experts suggest that you start building on your Paydex score from 3 to 6 months in advance, before you begin applying for a loan.

By monitoring your business credit score, you'll be quickly notified whenever your score needs to be improved. The easiest way for improving your business credit score includes paying your obligations and loans ahead of schedule. Once you get a score of 80, this will indicate that your business is paying its loans on time. By making sure that you pay your loans and obligations early, your business credit score should easily move up in the most reasonable period of time.
