How Does My Personal Credit Score Impact My Business Loan Application?

It probably doesn’t take long for any business owner who applies for a business loan to discover that their personal credit impacts their ability to qualify, but whenever I talk to business owners it seems that there are some misconceptions and questions many small business owners have regarding what the impact is, what is included in their profile, and what they can do to improve the odds of loan approval and the options available when they’re looking for a small business loan. Small business owners in the United States really have two profiles, their personal credit profile and their business profile. Both profiles play a role...
