What is Business Credit?
Your business credit record is the primary way that companies evaluate whether to do business with you – and on what terms. Companies rely on your business creditworthiness to make critical decisions, including whether:
To sell to you
To lend you money
You are viable as a partner
To lease the equipment you need to grow your business
To increase your line of credit
To help you carry more inventory at competitive prices
To give you favorable financing rates and terms
You stack up favorably against other companies competing in your market space
Business credit includes a variety of data points about your business, such as the date it started, the skills and experience of your top leaders, number of employees and annual sales. This type of information is listed in your business credit profile, along with scores and ratings that are derived from your business’s past behavior to predict its future behavior. For example, your ability and willingness to pay your bills on time in the past is factored into your ability and likelihood of paying your bills in the future.

why is business credit important to my business?
why is business credit important to my business?
Good credit is the lifeline of your business. It enables you to obtain funding for things like expansion, capital expenditures, research and development, and staffing. It is the principal contributing factor to your business’s future growth, not to mention the cash necessary for survival. Good business credit also allows you to keep the cash you have to cover your cost of doing business; such liquidity lets you respond quickly to time-sensitive requirements, without halting or compromising operations.
It’s not just about getting access to financing; business credit has increasingly become the primary vehicle for setting terms on business loans, determining insurance premiums, even setting lease payments. Good business credit can earn you lower rates, strengthening your cash flow.
What’s in my Business Credit Profile?
What’s in my Business Credit Profile?
Information that goes into creating a business’s credit profile comes from a variety of primary & secondary sources, such as:
✔️Payment and banking data from company suppliers
✔️Suits, liens and judgments, UCC’s, business registrations, incorporations and bankruptcy filings from state and county courthouses
✔️Corporate financial reports
✔️Contracts, grants, loans, & debarments from the federal government
✔️Web mining
✔️News and media
✔️Yellow Pages and other print directories
✔️And, in the case of your Dun and Bradstreet business credit profile, direct investigations and interviews with company principals (i.e. self-reported data) and other companies that you work with.
Dun & Bradstreet has created a proprietary set of key ratings and scores that use information gathered from these sources to present an unbiased view of creditworthiness. A complete Dun & Bradstreet business credit report includes the following proprietary scores and ratings:
