As a business owner, Borrowing can be a tool that helps your business reach new heights, but it can be

also a very difficult concept to learn and understand. What makes it even more challenging is that your business may not be able to stand on

Some situations in which your personal credit may affect your business credit.

1. Sole proprietorships.

If your business operates as a sole proprietorship, it means you haven’t registered it as a separate legal entity in your state. As a result,

your personal credit is the same as your business credit. In this case, your transactions are conducted in your name and under your Social Security number,

so lenders don’t view your business as separate from your personal finances, even if you keep them

separate. (You should do this anyway for accounting and bookkeeping purposes.)

In this case, although you may be able to obtain business credit cards or business loans, they are

your personal credit balance. Similarly, if you have poor credit, you won’t be approved for any new loans, or you’ll have to pay

twice the interest rate because of your credit history.

2. Limited Liability Companies.

As the owner of a limited liability company, your personal credit affects your business, but not as strongly as it does

Sole proprietorship. Limited liability companies are considered “pass-through entities,” which means your business income is reported

to the IRS on your personal tax return. However, an LLC can have its own tax ID, called

an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which gives your business a leg to stand on and may help it qualify for some business loans. “Your business taxes

At this point, lenders and credit card companies will likely ask for your business tax return or an income statement

to support new credit applications. This is another important reason to keep your business finances separate from your personal finances.

As Mitt Romney once said, “Corporations are people, my friend.” Whether or not you agree with this statement, for financial purposes, companies

are very similar to people. They have a personal identification number for taxes and file their own taxes. They can also get

their own bank accounts, and personal loans are generally not considered when applying for new loans or credit cards.

When you apply for new credit and own a business, your personal loans will be reviewed and taken into account,

but the business is primarily responsible for itself. To take things a little further, you can pay Dun & Bradstreet, S&P, or a credit agency

such as Moody’s, but these are usually used by large companies, not startups or solo ventures.

There is also another type of company: an S corporation. S corporations are similar to limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities. A C corporation

is more independent and self-sufficient when it comes to making credit-related financial decisions.

4. Your Personal Credit Matters

In most cases, if you operate your business as a sole proprietorship, limited liability company, or S corporation, your personal credit

definitely affects your business. If you have a C corporation, your personal credit has less of an impact, but it is still a factor to consider.

Keep this in mind when applying for new loans.

This is why paying off outstanding balances is so important. Don’t pay less than the minimum or spend more than you can

pay back. If you have bad credit, you need to find the right way to build a solid credit history. Check out this
