Small Business Credit & Personal Credit

How Does Your Personal Credit Affect Business Loan Prospects?

Chart

Your personal credit is determined by the breakdown of these categories:

  • New Credit
  • Types of Credit
  • Length of Credit History
  • Amounts Owned
  • Payment History

Just as your personal credit history determines whether you qualify for a personal loan, it also affects whether you can get small business credit and loans. The three main things lenders look for on your credit report are:

  1. Late payments
  2. Missed payments
  3. Bankruptcies

The Importance of Separating Personal & Small Business Credit

If you've ever used a credit card, opened a bank account, or financed a car, you have a personal credit file. Your personal credit information is intended to help you find the money you need to run your household. However, not every business has a business credit profile, which is one reason why some creditors seek to check the personal credit information of a small business owner. But if you want to limit your personal liability while running your company, it's best to establish your small business credit separately and use it only to run your business. Using your personal credit to get money for your business may cause some problems. You may seem overextended. Because businesses require more cash to operate than personals do, your personal credit will not be portrayed accurately if you are using it to run your business.

Small Business Credit and a Bad Credit History

Typically, banks won't consider conventional loans or SBA guaranteed loans to applicants with a bankruptcy in the past three years. That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't try. The Tax Club is here to walk you through the process in determining the best course of action for building strong business credit whether you have good credit or bad credit.

"I just want to thank Adnan from the bottom of my heart for all his patience and concern while doing my 2008 taxes. I had so much information to deal with because I wear some many "hats" in my businesses. I was very pleased with the tax club. This is my first year to work with the tax club and, believe me, I was skeptical about the whole service. I was pleasantly surprised with my tax return. Adnan did the return in a timely manner and spent time asking me questions so that all the information was correct. I am looking forward to working with the tax club on this year's taxes and forming a great partnership for many years to come."
- Jennifer S.
