To Successfully Obtain Business Capital Every Business Needs A Coach
If you are a business owner the task of obtaining business
capital can be very daunting. Most businesses fail because they
have never been taught how to obtain financing and therefore
they have no clue where to begin. The Small Business
Administration reports that 97% of business loan applications
fail.
The importance of seeking expert assistance when setting up
business credit has many business owners turning to a business
finance coach to help them establish their business credit. One
of the biggest mistakes made by business owners is that they
attempt to obtain business financing using their personal
credit. You should never use your social security number to
obtain business financing. Personal credit has to be separated
from your business credit.
Until your business has three separate business credit scores,
any financing that your business receives will be based solely
on your personal credit scores and your personal assets. A good
example of this would be if you wanted to buy a home, but you
had no personal credit scores. You would get declined, and
funding a business is no different. You need to have business
credit scores established to even get looked at for a business
loan. Having business credit scores established are just a
start in the finance process. There are 20 other items that
must be in place before you apply for business loans.
“Missing just one of the 20 items will get your business
denied,” says Finance Specialist James Christy. “If you follow
the steps in a good business finance coach you will make sure
that you have all of the items completed.”
For example, Lenders will deny a business loan application if
the business legal name is not listed properly with the 411
Directory Assistance. Another way financing can be denied is if
your business has a bank rating below a low 5 or if your
business doesn’t have credit files open with the three business
credit reporting agencies. Most lenders now require businesses
to have three good credit scores. These are only a few of the
items that must all be in place first before seeking approval
for funding.
The process of establishing business credit is much more
complicated than setting up personal credit. There is one
business credit agency that will try to charge you $500 just to
open your credit file. You do not have to pay it, and a good
business finance coach will show you why you don’t have to pay
it. A good finance coach will set you up with all three
reporting credit agencies as well.
A business finance coach instructs business owners in a
step-by-step format on exactly what they must do to get their
business ready to be approved for financing and how and why to
build the business credit scores they need to get approved. A
coach will show a business how to not only build business
credit, but to build good business credit that the banks and
other lending agencies will use to approve your loan request. A
good finance coach will typically direct you to sources for
business credit cards, vendor lines of credit and for other
creative forms of financing.
To find a business finance coach to help your business build
excellent business credit scores you might go to your favorite
search engine Google, Yahoo, or MSN and do a search for the
phrase “business finance coach”.
