Like it or not, you’re judged by your personal credit. In today’s world of automated underwriting and lender matrix labyrinths, the importance of maintaining strong personal credit cannot be overstated. If you’re a small business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, your personal credit is the key to business financing success. Establishing good credit habits is essential to improve and protect this most valuable asset.
There are a number of crooks out there pitching business credit as an alternative to personal credit. THEY ARE LIARS OR FOOLS – take your pick. What they don’t tell you, until after they have your money, is that most financing doors will open or close based solely on your personal credit. If you have bad credit, you either need to do something about it, or consider bringing in a partner with good credit.
On the other hand, if you have a business partner whose personal credit is burned beyond recognition, make sure they bring enough to the table to compensate for the fact that you will probably end up the stake-horse for all the company’s debt financing. Regardless of what your personal credit looks like today, you need to be proactive about maintaining and/or optimizing your credit from now on. The XBanker’s™ Business Credit Success solution gives you the tools and resources to protect your most valuable financial asset. Find out more.
