As discussed below, your personal score often determines the type of financing you might qualify for, loan amount, and even interest rate. WHAT CREDIT SCORE DO I NEED FOR A SMALL BUSINESS LOAN? A credit score of 670 or higher is usually good credit. The better the score, the lower the interest rate on your loan. Your Business Loan Options Based on Credit Score. Your credit score determines the commercial financing options available, although minimum requirements vary by lender. If you have fair credit (580 to 669), your options may include: Asset finance (business vehicle, equipment, etc Merchant cash advances and invoice factoring (based on future business profits) Lines of credit Online lenders (term loans) Business or personal asset-secured loans Options for poor credit (300 to 579) include: Secured financing (such as business equipment or vehicle Invoice factoring Merchant cash advance

  3. WILL MY BUSINESS CREDIT SCORE HELP (DO I NEED ONE?) You can obtain your business credit score from credit reporting bureaus like Equifax and Experian. The score is linked to you by an Employer Identification Number (EIN), isn’t necessarily a precondition for getting a business loan, and is unlikely to limit your financing options. However, having a good business credit score isn’t bad. Some lenders may consider it alongside your score. HOW CREDIT BUREAUS CALCULATE YOUR BUSINESS CREDIT SCORE?

They often include: Your credit transactions, including inquiries and applications Business debt payment history (a history of default and late payments can hurt your score) Years in business (companies with little history may appear riskier to lenders) Past/current legal problems and financial distress (delinquent taxes, bankruptcy, and court judgments against your business can dent your credit) CONTACT FIDELITY MORTGAGE LENDERS, INC.
