Establishing good credit rating

Establishing and maintaining a good credit history takes time. Paying credit obligations on time will help you develop a good credit history and will enable you to obtain additional credit in the future. Apply for a business loan or business credit card to establish a credit history for your business. Then build a track record.

If you have problems establishing credit, you may wish to ask a person with established credit to co-sign an application for you. This allows the creditor to base the decision on both applicants’ credit histories. Please note that a signer and co-signer are equally responsible for repayment of the debt. Payment history on this type of debt may be reflected on both parties’ credit reports. Once timely payments have been made on the account, you may again wish to apply for individual credit.

Once you’ve established your credit rating, be sure to keep it spotless by:

• Consistently pay at least the minimum amount owing on your debts.
• Pay bills by the due dates.
• Ensure that your credit report is accurate by contacting the credit bureaus:
• If you find a mistake on your credit report, have it corrected immediately.

If you are declined credit, find out why. You could be declined for various reasons including not meeting the creditors’ minimum income requirement or not having been at your current residence or job for the required amount of time.
