First off it needs to be said that there are certainly other ways to go about establishing credit for your business. These four methods are just a tried and true means of doing so rather quickly. Of course most of the credit limits will be low but over time as your business grows these limits can be raised. All you need to do is develop a good clean history with the credit provider. So let's talk about four of the easiest methods available to build up your company's credit.
Credit cards are probably the number one recognized way of building credit. And it doesn't matter whether it's for an individual or a business. But credit cards come with some risks so they need to be used carefully. For one you have to be aware that any credit card that you apply for on behalf of your business will want you to sign the contract as the guarantor. This means if the bill doesn't get paid the credit card company will start calling you. But having two to three credit cards is ok as long as you have the ability to pay them off regularly and not carry a balance. And there are plenty of low interest cards that you can apply for if you take the time to shop.
A Second option is getting a store card. Having a store card to your local office supply or warehouse store can be a good way to give you some financial flexibility and convenience when you need basic office supplies or other items. And it will help you build your business credit rating.
Your third option is to ask your suppliers for a line of credit. Often if you take the time to develop a good relationship with your suppliers then they may be open to providing you with a credit line and a thirty day grace period in which you can make your payments. Your suppliers may even offer a discount for paying your bill before the thirty day period ends. This can save your business money and build up goodwill with your suppliers. Ultimately your suppliers want to work with you and providing you with a credit line is a way that they can tighten up their relationship with you. So this can be a win win for both.
The final way is your bank. Of course building a solid relationship with you bank is important. But your bank also has the ability to provide you with a revolving credit line. This line can be used to pay off larger short term expenses that you might not have the funds for yet. The idea is simple. You establish a credit line with your bank. When you fall short of money to make a bill payment on time then you borrow money from the credit line to pay the bill. Once you get paid by your customers you repay the amount borrowed. This allows you to stay in good standing with your suppliers and other creditors.
Because your business needs every bit of financial flexibility it can possibly get. You can use as many of these options as you might find necessary to establish credit for your business. You just need to decide which methods are best for your business.
