Banks, lenders and financial institutions may consider a company\u2019s business credit score when making loan approvals or determining loan interest rates and borrowing terms. A high business credit score indicates to lenders that a company will likely pay back its debts on time and in full.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a business credit score and report can make it easier for your company to borrow money with better terms. You\u2019ll also often find that when you can show lenders a strong personal and business credit score, you can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/loans\/improve-your-chances-for-loan-approval.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approved for larger loans.<\/a> Lastly, a business credit score can allow you to borrow under the company\u2019s name, which can help keep your business and personal finances separated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-a-business-credit-score-different-from-a-personal-credit-score\">How is a business credit score different from a personal credit score?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Personal and business credit scores are similar in purpose but different in execution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Range:<\/strong> Your personal credit score is typically a number in the 300 \u2013 850 range. In comparison, business credit scores are usually given between 0 and 100.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Industry standards:<\/strong> Your personal credit score usually comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexingtonlaw.com\/blog\/credit-101\/fico-credit-score.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FICO<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> or VantageScore<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, as those are the two dominant credit scoring systems used by almost all consumer credit bureaus. However, the business credit score is much less standardized. Business lenders can choose to use the popular rating agency Dun &amp; Bradstreet<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> or develop their own methods for evaluating commercial credit scores.<\/li><li><strong>Getting your score:<\/strong> Consumers can access their personal credit scores for free from various sources (banks, credit bureaus, etc.). Unfortunately, the same can\u2019t be said for business credit scores. You\u2019ll likely have to get your business score from one of the four major providers (more on those below), and there will be a charge.<\/li><li><strong>Access to your score and report:<\/strong> Your personal credit score can only be accessed by you or authorized users. such as lenders you\u2019ve applied to, employers and landlords. In comparison, anyone can pay to look up a business credit score.<\/li><li><strong>EIN vs. SSN:<\/strong> Your personal credit score is tied to your Social Security number.
