Understanding Small Business Credit Reporting

Live webinar

Free but registration required.

When a new or young business applies for a loan with a bank or community lender, much hinges on the personal credit score of the owner. There’s often no business credit score to check. But as a company matures and grows, the business credit score takes on a parallel importance. Learn how this works and what you can do to enhance and protect your company’s score. The rules and practices are much different in this landscape than with consumer lending.

Find out which organizations are involved in business credit tracking and how to get a file opened for your firm. Discover how credit reporting works, what laws are applicable to business credit and what risks you might be exposed to.
