If you would like to obtain a copy of your personal credit report, you are the only person that can do so. Unlike personal credit reports, which can only be viewed and requested by the report holder, a small business credit report is available to the public. This means that anyone, including potential lenders and suppliers, can obtain your small business credit report. It is more important than ever to monitor your business credit report and credit history.
Your business credit score is used to determine how much money lenders will loan you, what interest rates you will be charged and what you may pay for insurance premiums. It is also one of the first things lenders, suppliers and even some customers may look at before deciding to do business with you. It is not enough to know that you pay your bills on time and that you have never had late fees or someone has refused you credit. You must be aware of what your credit report or history says about your business and that there are no discrepancies or derogatory items listed in error on your credit report. Unlike personal credit reports which are regulated to one report per person per year, commercial business credit reports can be ordered as often as the person would like.
