THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN

We help businesses like yours improve their credit scores and build business credit so you can get the loans and partnerships you need to take your company to the next level.

HOW DOES YOUR BUSINESS CREDIT SCORE AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO GROW?

If you’re a small business owner, you must understand how your credit score affects your ability to grow.

If your business has bad credit, it can be difficult for you to secure loans and expand your company. We help businesses of all sizes improve their credit scores and expand their operations to help them grow.

You may think that your business credit scores are not important, but they can have a big impact on your ability to do business. Your business credit score is based on the information in your credit report, which is compiled by one or more of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

 

How well your business pays its bills directly affects the health of your company’s credit report. If you have bad debt, it will show up as delinquent accounts on your company’s financial statements. The number and dollar amount of these delinquencies will also be reported to one or more of the three major credit reporting agencies. When you fail to pay a bill by its due date, the creditor will send a notice to all three credit bureaus permitting them to report that late payment to their respective databases. This late payment will stay on your report for seven years from when it was first recorded.

If you fail to pay a bill within 60 days after it becomes past due (e.g., if you receive a bill dated April 1st and you don’t pay until May 15th), then that unpaid debt will be considered “30-day past

If your business has been turned down for loans or financing because of low credit scores, Carter Cole & Associates is here to help. We work with lenders to help businesses like yours achieve their financial goals by developing a customized plan that includes improving your business credit scores.

PAYING ANY BUSINESS BILLS WITH CREDIT CARDS

As A Business Owner Did You Know That You Can Pay Any Bill With Your Business Credit Cards Just Like You Would Use Cash? That Means You Can Pay Contractors, Payroll, Rent, Utilities, Vendors, Inventory, Etc. With The Business Credit Cards That We, Will Help You Obtain.

As A Business Success System Member Not Only Will We Help You Obtain Financing And Business Credit Cards But We Will Also Provide You With Services That Will Let You Use Your Business Credit Cards To Pay Any Of Your Business Bills. It Is Rarely Just One Loan

As A Business Owner, It Is Natural To Say “I Need $200,000 In Financing”, When In Reality Finding A Single Lender Who Will Lend $200,000 Is Extremely Difficult, Makes Your Chances Of Qualifying Much Smaller, And Places Much More Risk On That Single Lender. The Better Question Is “What Do You Need The Money For” Which Then Allows For The Method Of Funding To Be Broken Down Into Segments.

For example;

  1. $50,000 In A Credit Union Term Loan That Is Easy To Qualify For.
  2. $50,000 Spread Over 5 Or 6 Credit Cards That Are Easy To Qualify For.
  3. $50,000 In Equipment Financing That Is Also Easy To Qualify For,
  4. And $50,000 In Vendor Financing For Needed Products & Services.

In This Example, The End Result Is The Same $200,000 That You Wanted And In A Form That Is Much Easier To Qualify For With A Very High Probability Of Approval. For The Lenders Their Risks Are Much Smaller And Therefore Their Approval Guidelines Are Much Lower, And Their Terms More Liberal.
