If you own your own business, do you know what is in your business credit report? Do you know how important your business credit report is? When you choose to open your own business, whatever it may be, and do business with another company, the first thing they look at if you are an established business is your business credit report.

Your business credit report contains all of the information that is needed to determine if you are a good candidate to do business with, or if you are a risk. An individual or company can look at your business credit report and determine if you are on time with loan and credit card payments, if there are any public judgments against you and how long you have been established. That same person or business will use that to determine if THEY want to do business with YOU.

For example, say you are a small hometown construction company and you need supplies. You decide to go to the local hardware store and open an account, not only for the convenience but also so you aren’t worrying about how to pay for the supplies. The first thing that hardware store is going to do is to pull your business credit report.  Could you get an account with them if you have a bad business credit report? Not likely.

Another example with the same small hometown construction company would be this; you have been recommended to someone by a past customer, but this new customer knows nothing of you.  Given your permission, they pull a business credit report on you and it shows that you several judgments against you for sloppy work. Would you get their business?  Not if they are smart.

Your business credit report is a very important part of your company and how you do your business.  Make sure that you keep all of your accounts paid up and on time and that you do quality work for whomever your customers may be to ensure that your business credit report reflects who you really are.
