A strong credit score is one of the most powerful financial tools a business owner can have. It determines your ability to secure funding, qualify for better loan terms, and access higher credit limits—all of which are essential for growth and stability.
However, many business owners overlook the importance of their credit score until they need funding and realize their score is holding them back. The good news? Improving your credit score is possible, and Monet Capital is here to help.
In this blog, we’ll explore why business credit matters, how it impacts your financing options, and the best strategies to improve it with Monet’s expert guidance.
Just like personal credit, a business credit score is a measure of your company’s financial health and reliability. It plays a major role in securing loans, credit lines, and supplier agreements.
Lenders use your credit score to determine:
✔ Loan eligibility – Higher credit scores improve approval chances.
✔ Interest rates – Businesses with strong credit get lower rates, saving thousands.
✔ Loan amounts – A higher credit score allows access to larger funding amounts.
💡 Example: A business with a 750+ credit score may secure a loan at 6% interest, while a business with a 600 score might be offered 15% or higher, costing significantly more.
If you plan to expand operations, buy inventory, or hire staff, a strong credit profile helps secure higher credit limits—whether through a business loan, line of credit, or supplier financing.
Many suppliers offer better payment terms (e.g., net 30 or net 60 days) to businesses with good credit scores. This means you can purchase inventory upfront and pay later, helping cash flow.
Unexpected expenses happen—equipment breaks, sales slow down, or new opportunities arise. A strong credit score ensures access to emergency funding when needed.
If your credit score is less than ideal, don’t worry—there are proven ways to improve it. Monet Capital provides expert strategies to help business owners boost their scores and unlock better financing options.
Many business owners don’t know their credit score until they apply for a loan. Regular monitoring helps you identify areas for improvement and catch errors that might hurt your score.
✅ How Monet Helps: We provide credit score analysis and monitor your report for discrepancies.
Late or missed payments severely impact credit scores. Set up automatic payments to avoid late fees and maintain a strong payment history.
✅ How Monet Helps: We review your financial obligations and help you set up payment reminders or automated billing.
Your credit utilization ratio is how much credit you use compared to your total available credit. Keeping this below 30% improves your credit score.
Example:
✔ Business Credit Limit: $100,000
✔ Current Usage: $70,000
🚨 Utilization Ratio = 70% (Too High!)
✔ Ideal Usage: $30,000 or less (Under 30%)
✅ How Monet Helps: We guide you on how to strategically pay down balances to lower utilization.
Credit report mistakes—such as incorrect late payments or inaccurate credit limits—can lower your score. Disputing these errors can quickly boost your rating.
✅ How Monet Helps: Our team reviews your credit report and helps remove inaccuracies through a formal dispute process.
If your business has limited credit history, consider:
✔ Opening a small business credit card
✔ Taking a secured business loan
✔ Becoming an authorized user on another business account
✅ How Monet Helps: We provide strategies to build new credit lines without hurting your financial health.
Some businesses struggle to improve their scores because traditional banks reject them. Using alternative lenders, invoice financing, or secured loans can help build a positive payment history.
