THE POWER OF BUSINESS CREDIT

How Can Business Credit Help You Grow? Here’s an Example

Background: A first-time business borrower might only qualify for up to $100,000 since they have not established any business credit. However, as they build business credit, they have the potential to grow quickly.

Example: If a Beacon Funding customer finances a $100,000 piece of equipment, after 12 timely payments they’d be eligible for a $200,000 loan. This process repeats itself after an organization has shown its ability to repay loans of similar sizes. So, in about 4 years that business could qualify for up to $800,000 in commercial loans!

Frequently Asked Questions About Business Credit

Personal credit is tied to an individual’s financial activities, such as credit card usage, loan repayment history, and debt levels. Business credit, on the other hand, is associated with a company or LLC and is used for business-related expenses. 

It is very difficult to grow your business to a meaningful size by purchasing equipment with cash and personal credit alone. Having no borrowing history can be challenging for a business for a few reasons:

  1. Harder to Get Approved: Lenders rely on borrowing history to gauge how trustworthy a business is when it comes to repaying loans. Without this history, it’s hard to get approved.
  2. Higher Costs: If lenders do decide to give you a loan, they might charge higher interest rates or offer less favorable terms because they don’t have a track record to assess your reliability.
  3. Limited Growth: Access to credit can help a business grow by funding new projects, expansions, or covering cash flow gaps. Without borrowing history, it might be harder to get the funds you need to take your business to the next level.
Beacon Funding reports each equipment financing payment to credit agencies, helping your company establish business credit. This makes it easier for start-ups and established business to obtain additional financing in the future.
