Alternatives Available if You Don't Qualify or Are Declined a Business Loan


Available Alternatives

If you do not have the ability to obtain a business loan or find that lenders keep turning you down, there are alternatives.  First and foremost, you should decide exactly what you will do the money.  By determining the use of funds, you can decide if trade credit will help. Trade credit is financing provided by businesses to other businesses.  It is the single largest business to business financing in the world.  Trade credit is critical to the success of small businesses; it gives them access to the right amount of capital, at the right time, on the right terms to start, grow, and run their businesses.  It is seldom considered as a viable option, even though it is often the easiest to obtain.


Trade Credit

Trade credit is referred to as business credit. Businesses will lend money to you to purchase their products if you qualify. Most businesses will look at your business credit profile and score to determine if you qualify.

 -In most instances, when a loan is needed, it is to purchase products or services for the
   business.
 -A business could obtain the product or service on credit if their business had a proper   
  credit profile and score.
 -Businesses turn to various credit bureaus to find the profile and score.
 -Before you apply for business credit you should be certain that you have a credit profile
  and score set up. This will increase your chances for approval.


Build Your Corporate Credit

Every business has the ability to build their business credit profile and score with the various business credit reporting agencies. These agencies each have a different way of obtaining the information for the profile and formula to determine a corporate credit score.

  -It is important to work with professional consultants to walk you through the maze of
    building your corporate credit.
  -The most important reason is to avoid a high-risk status with the credit bureaus. All
    business credit bureaus will do checks on your business that the business must pass in
    order to receive a profile.  Many business owners have no idea the checks are being
    performed until it is too late. (Tip: Mistakes at this stage can take several months to
    correct.)
  -If the credit bureau doesn't find what they are looking for or finds something out of the
    ordinary your business will be unable to obtain the credit it deserves.

    profile and score. The program is the Corporate Credit Builder.
