Business Credit

Most business owners are surprised to learn that just like they have a personal credit score, so does their business. Business credit is a track record of a business’s fiscal responsibility which companies, investors, or financial organizations use to determine whether that business is a suitable candidate for loans or a business partnership.

Why is building business credit important?

Building business credit is important because at some point, your business will need funding to continue growing. Most small businesses tend to be financed initially by personal savings or assets of the owner. This becomes difficult to sustain once your business reaches a certain rate of growth.

One advantage of a corporation is that additional financial resources are readily available through the introduction of new shareholders. However, this is a shorter-term solution and not everyone is prepared to share control of their enterprise with others. Unfortunately, few know how to set about finding credit or investment solutions to fund their business growth.

NCH can help you to build a business credit profile and understand the business loan process. This preparation will significantly improve your chances of being approved for business funding. Here are just a few of the credit programs that we offer:
