Many SMEs don’t realise that their business has a credit score – one that’s just as important as their own personal credit score.
Now, thanks to the launch of Know Your Score by OnDeck Australia, business owners can get a clear picture of their business credit score without affecting their credit rating.
Having good credit opens many doors for a business owner. A higher score shows their business is financially stable and low risk, which in turn increases their working capital options.
A company’s credit score is created at the same time the business is launched and will change based on a variety of factors, including payment history, debt, risk factors, and organisation size.
This score is a key indicator used for assessing credit or loan applications, and being aware of the score can help business owners make informed financial decisions.
Alison Dean, owner of Melbourne-based small business The High Tea Party, was pleasantly surprised by her company’s positive credit score and the easy, fast application process.
“I work from home and fit a full-time week in around my husband and three kids,” said Dean, “so I don’t have time to be visiting banks, digging around for paperwork or anything like that. I used Know Your Score on my mobile phone. It took me less than two minutes and I got the score straight away. It was a positive score too!”
Stay ahead of the game. Check on a business’ credit score by visiting the Know Your Score page on OnDeck’s website.
It’s simple – just enter the business’ details and as soon as the application has been submitted, receive a free score.
