Maybe you want to add some new equipment to your practice, make building renovations, or even buy the building you\u2019ve been leasing. To do it, you need purchasing power. For most practice owners, the best way to get more of it is through a loan.<\/p><h5><strong>Should I use business credit or personal credit?<\/strong><\/h5><p>The first question many business owners ask is \u2019Should I use business credit or personal credit when applying for a loan?\u2019<\/p><p>\u201cAt Cain Watters, we advise the vast majority of our clients to use personal credit for business loans,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/bradley-blasingame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">Bradley Blasingame<\/span><\/a>, CPA and Financial Planner at Cain Watters &amp; Associates.<\/p><p>The reasons are two-fold. First, personal credit history is automated, meaning scores are automatically generated in real-time based on preset factors (outlined later in this article).<\/p><p>Business credit, on the other hand, is a manual process. Measured on a scale from 0 to 100, the primary factors lowering business credit are complaints, collections, liens, judgments and bankruptcies. Because these are manually entered, they can often be erroneous and time-consuming to clear up.<\/p><p>The second reason is tax savings. Leveraging personal credit allows practice owners to take advantage of tax deductions on accumulated interest starting in the current tax year.<\/p><p>With these two factors in mind, it\u2019s no wonder why keeping a good personal credit history is crucial to increasing your purchasing power.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2c97cfe2 blue-box elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"2c97cfe2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e38d827 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"e38d827\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fb30826 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2fb30826\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cThe operative term here is credit history, not credit score,\u201d says Bradley. \u201cYour credit score is only one of the factors lenders look at in evaluating your overall credit history.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78fb0b6f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"78fb0b6f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d2e21b ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"6d2e21b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a263062 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a263062\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To make a true determination of your credit-worthiness, Bradley says lenders look at a combination of three factors:<\/p><ol><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Credit Score<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Liquidity<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">Reputation and Goodwill<\/li><\/ol><h5><strong>Factor One: Credit Score<\/strong><\/h5><p>Your credit score is exactly what you think it is. That magical, mystical FICO rating assigned to you by each of the three credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. FICO scores are\u00a0calculated\u00a0by evaluating data in five categories using a weighted scale to determine a final score:<\/p><ol><li style=\"text-align: left;\">35% Payment History<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">30% Debt-to-Credit Ratio<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">15% Credit\u00a0History Length<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">10% New\u00a0Credit<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\">10% Overall Credit\u00a0Mix<\/li><\/ol><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even though each bureau weights and calculates FICO scores a little differently, in general, a score around 600-669 is considered <strong>fair<\/strong>, 670 to 739 is <strong>good<\/strong>, 740 to 799 is <strong>very good<\/strong> and 800 to 850 is <strong>exceptional<\/strong>.<\/p><p>If you have a credit score in the fair range, getting a loan for the amount you want might be difficult. In the good range, you will probably get the loan you want, but maybe not the lowest interest rate. Borrowers in the very good to exceptional range typically get the best rates available.<\/p><p>\u201cThe credit score is important because lenders use it as a starting point for evaluating credit-worthiness,\u201d says Bradley. \u201cHowever, for business owners, liquidity is also a major player.\u201d<\/p><h5><strong>Factor Two: Liquidity<\/strong><\/h5><p>Liquidity is the amount of cash on hand that practice owners can easily access. For example, money in both business and personal checking\/savings accounts is liquid. Monies locked in retirement accounts or tied up in real estate are not liquid.<\/p><p>Lenders typically want to see about 10% liquidity before approving a loan. So if you\u2019re looking to borrow $250,000, the bank will want to see at least $25,000 in accessible cash.<\/p><p>\u201cLiquidity is something practice owners definitely want to think about well in advance of initiating the loan process,\u201d said Bradley. \u201cPre-planning to make sure there are enough liquid assets available is key to a smooth loan experience.\u201d<\/p><h5><strong>Factor Three: Reputation and Goodwill<\/strong><\/h5><p>The final factor is a bit more ambiguous but no less important\u2014especially for business owners.<\/p><p><strong>Reputation<\/strong> is how the company is viewed based on both positive and negative reviews from customers, clients, vendors, etc.<\/p><p><strong>Goodwill<\/strong> is an asset of the company relating to its net-positive reputation.\u00a0The value of the goodwill asset can be measured by the difference in take-over price paid compared to fair-market value. Loss of goodwill can be measured by a reduction in profits over a given time period. Goodwill also extends to a company\u2019s intellectual property and their corresponding values.<\/p><p>Taken together, Reputation and Goodwill give lenders a look at the health of a company beyond the profit and loss statements. While there is really no set formula, banks will typically look at the following factors:<\/p><ol><li>Number of trade experiences<\/li><li>Balances outstanding<\/li><li>Payment habits<\/li><li>Credit utilization<\/li><li>Number of credit inquiries<\/li><li>Trends over time for all of the above<\/li><\/ol><p>The key takeaway here is the emphasis on trends. Is there an increased trend in slow payment of obligations? Are practice owners paying down credit card balances or just paying the minimum? Is the business able to operate during stressful times or does it consistently need to take out more credit?<\/p><p>According to Bradley, paying off balances is especially important for businesses operating with an existing line of credit, because lenders want to see that a company does not need to rely on credit to operate.<\/p><p>\u201cCWA recommends having open lines of credit to all our clients,\u201d says Bradley. \u201cThat said, you do need to be paying it off so there is a period of dormancy or zero balance. In a lender\u2019s eyes, maxed out credit is going to be more important than a good credit score.\u201d<\/p><h5><strong>Preparation is the Key<\/strong><\/h5><p>Bradley recommends that practice owners plan as far as possible in advance of needing funds, so any issues affecting credit-worthiness can be addressed.<\/p><p>Checking all three credit reports annually at a free resource like <strong><u>freecreditreport.com<\/u><\/strong> can help owners uncover any irregularities. Sometimes it\u2019s a simple oversight. For example, a student loan transfers banks without you realizing it. Suddenly it looks like you are missing payments. Catching and correcting these issues right away will go a long way in improving your credit history before it becomes an issue with a lender.<\/p><p>If you do find anything inaccurate in your report, there are two ways to resolve it. If the issue is with an entity you recognize like your bank, call them and get it resolved. If you don\u2019t recognize it, Bradley counsels clients to call a credit repair service, who can freeze the report until it gets resolved.<\/p><p>\u201cIt can take several months to pay down credit, gather liquidity or clear something up on your credit report, and you could miss out on that business opportunity you wanted to pursue right away,\u201d says Bradley. \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s important to plan in advance with a professional tax advisor or financial planner.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1319250a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"1319250a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-66507ebd blue-box ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"66507ebd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6752955f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6752955f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As always, CWA is here to make the planning process simple and seamless. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">Talk to a CWA Advisor<\/span><\/a> about how we can help increase your practice\u2019s purchasing power before the next big opportunity comes your way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s more than just your credit score As a business owner, you know how important it is to have access to extra capital when you need it.
