As a business owner, you’ve probably already had experience with personal credit. You know how long it took, from obtaining that first department store credit card to getting a mortgage with a good interest rate. It takes years to build good personal credit.

Now you want to start your own business. Are you thinking of risking your personal credit that it took you years to build? If you are, think about it very carefully. Are you 100% sure that your business will immediately become profitable? Are you also willing to risk your home, your car, and your future on this business? Some business owners will rely on a parents personal credit to finance their business. Are you willing to risk your parents credit, perhaps even their home?

Many business owners do risk everything by using their personal credit to finance their business. Perhaps they don’t know any other way. Business credit is not something many business owners are familiar with. Building business credit can be a very long, hard process, and it is very easy to make costly mistakes.

Trent Lee, co-founder of Corporate Credit Concepts, can explain exactly how your business can build business credit without you, the owner, risking your own personal credit rating. Business credit often has lower interest rates than personal credit, saving your business money. You will also sleep a lot better at night knowing that your personal assets are not at risk.
