  • Credit Summary
  • Delinquency Summary
  • Default Summary
  • Bounced Cheque summary
  • Previous Enquiries
  • Execution Judgment
  • Member Narrative
  • Company Narrative

Accuracy of the profile: Ensure the data shown in the business credit report is accurate and up-to-date. Information seen by the lenders will decide the level and value of credit which will be offered to the business —even minor errors in the business profile can make it more difficult for businesses to qualify for a loan.

Make Prompt Payments: The promptness with which a company pays its bills is one of the driving factors that impact business credit ratings. For maximum impact, pay invoices ahead of the due date. The greater the number of days a company pays sooner than terms the greater the impact it will have on its business credit scores.

Not applying for new business credit cards or loans too frequently resulting in numerous credit enquiries, which will look bad on the report.

Keeping personal and business accounts separate - Using a separate credit account for your business and personal expenses is great for a number of reasons and can help build business credit and developing a credit history with manageable debt is healthy.
