 (ARA) - Working capital is the lifeblood of small businesses - and it's more important than ever to keep that life source flowing in the current economy. Your business credit score is a key factor in your ability to get capital; it could mean the difference between survival and failure for your company.
"Under-capitalization is one of the most common causes of business failure," says Dan Meder, vice president of Experian's Business Information Services. "Just as your personal credit score impacts your personal financial health, your business credit score can help you get competitive business loans and terms for your small business. "
As a business owner, it is extremely important to keep a watchful eye on your business credit report to stay on top of the vital information it obtains. Knowing and managing what's in this report can help small business owners avoid a variety of business problems that range from building capital to gaining customers. Here are some compelling reasons why it's so important to know what's in your business credit report:
* Avoid unpleasant surprises when applying for a business loan or credit from suppliers.
* Thwart fraud and business identity theft by alerting you to unusual activity.
* Correct mistakes or outdated information that may give creditors the wrong impression about your business.
* Build your company's credit score to aid in obtaining credit or funding that could lead to more opportunities to grow your business.
You may already use a monitoring service to keep track of your personal credit report. Now, there are options for business owners to keep tabs on their business credit report as well as manage the factors that drive the business credit score. Resources such as BusinessCreditFacts.com, can help you:
* Gain easy access to business credit reports, scores and monitoring services.
* Update your business credit profile, including addresses, phone and fax numbers, sales information, executive team names, and licensing and bonding information (where applicable to your industry).
* Find tips and answers to common business credit questions
* Retrieve small business community information and helpful articles from Experian and its partners.
"Keeping on top of your business credit score is one of the best ways to keep capital flowing for your company," Meder says. "Your personal credit history may continue to play a role in creditors' decisions about your business. But many lenders are now putting greater emphasis on a business' credit score, so your personal history may not be sufficient to guarantee you good terms."
