Business credit refers to the creditworthiness of a business entity, which is separate from the personal credit of its owners or operators. It is a measure of a business’s ability to obtain financing or credit from lenders, suppliers, and other sources based on its financial history, creditworthiness, and other factors such as the length of time it has been in operation and its revenue.
Business credit is typically established through the use of a business credit profile, which is a record of a business’s credit history, payment habits, and other financial information. Lenders and other creditors may use this information to evaluate the risk of extending credit to the business, and to determine the terms and conditions of any credit or financing offered.
Establishing and maintaining a good business credit profile can help businesses access financing and credit on favorable terms, improve cash flow, and build a strong financial foundation for growth and success.
