What a credit score is

Your business credit score is a number, usually out of 100, that represents how well your business is managing its credit and debit.

Credit scores are assessed by Credit Reference Agencies (ie. Experian and Equifax) and it's their responsibility to determine your credit score.

The business credit score is also used to assess the risk of lending your business credit. If your credit score is:

  • Closer to 100 – the low risk range. Lenders are more likely to approve loans and other credit products, and with lower interest rates

  • Nearer 0 – the higher risk range. Available funding may come with higher interest rates and could cost your business more

Keep in mind that your business credit score is publicly available. Anyone can check your score with Credit Reference Agencies, before deciding to partner with you.
