You can build business credit without having or using assets. Leveraging assets can provide a means to acquire working capital. If used properly, assets can expedite the business credit building process.
As your business gains credibility, numerous funding opportunities will become available to you. Your current assets can serve as collateral, enabling you to acquire new business credit accounts. By leveraging your assets, you can unlock various financing and credit options, providing you with a plethora of creative possibilities. Certain funding programs are designed to utilize specific revenue streams as collateral, while others allow you to sell these streams outright in exchange for working capital. To optimize your business credit, it is essential to have some working capital at hand for down payments, initial purchases, and other necessary expenses.iness credit. However, it's important to note that personal credit scores still play a role in the equation, a fact that many business credit building services tend to overlook.
In the business realm, the personal credit scores of the business owners (anyone with a stake of 15% or more) or company officers (such as CEO, President, CFO, etc.) can have an impact. Ideally, personal credit scores above 720 are preferred. If business owners or officers possess credit scores above 720, more financing options will become available at lower interest rates, resulting in a higher likelihood of approval.
UCC filing serves as a legal notification that a lender or creditor submits to the Secretary of State to establish a security interest in relation to you, your business, or a specific asset. This filing signifies that there is an interest or lien imposed on the asset to secure financing or to assert a claim.
When lenders or potential creditors review your business UCC filings, they might come across tax liens, mechanic liens, lis pendens (pending lawsuits), judgments, or other security interests indicating outstanding debts.
Businesses that have obtained SBA or PPP loans commonly encounter a "Blanket UCC" filed against both the business owner personally and the entire business entity. This particular type of filing implies that all current and future assets are deemed to be encumbered by liens and therefore cannot be utilized as collateral for future loans until the Blanket Lien is lifted.
It is highly advisable to review your UCC filing prior to applying for any new business loans or funding programs to avoid being blindsided by previously unknown obligations.
Becoming financially self-sufficient means ensuring that your business can secure financing independently, rather than constantly relying on the personal credit of its owners.
