A business owner’s credit score of 750 or above is considered good to avail a loan. Such a score allows a business to access large loans at competitive rates of interest. It is, therefore, important that a business owner takes the credit score seriously and if the score is not good, takes steps to improve it.

A score lower than 750 doesn’t disqualify a business from getting a loan. Indeed, banks and NBFCs do extend loans to businesses even if the score is less than 750 but above 650. However, they typically sanction a lower amount or charge a higher interest rate or ask for a collateral. A score below 650 makes it very difficult to get a business loan.

A borrower with a high credit score can get the best interest rates on offer in the market. A low score will attract a higher rate of interest as lenders will not be very comfortable with the credit history of the business owner, who perhaps didn’t pay the previous debts in time and even defaulted.

A good score will also help a business owner choose a tenor and a repayment plan that they think best suits the cash flow position of their business. This will ensure the business activity can be carried on smoothly and without strain.

It is also important to maintain healthy cash flows in the business to ensure the vendors and employees are paid timely, so that the business remains creditworthy and maintains a high score.
