How to improve your business credit score
Credit scores are complex statistical models for predicting credit risk. While there is no guaranteed way to improve a business credit score, here are a few steps you can take to make sure your business credit report reflects the best score possible for your situation:
- Check your business credit report regularly and verify that the information in your report is accurate and up-to-date.
- Establish business credit with companies that report trades. Remember, not all business creditors report their trade information.
- Pay your creditors on time. Historical payment behavior with previous creditors plays a major role in calculating your business credit score
How business credit scores are calculated
Business credit scores range from 0 to 100 where 0 represents a high risk and 100 represents a low risk. Scores are based on a number of factors contained in your business credit report including:
- Number of trade experiences
- Outstanding balances
- Payment habits
- Credit utilization
- Trends over time
- Public record recency, frequency and dollar amount
- Demographics such as years on file, Standard Industrial Classification codes, business size

(Experian® requires minimum information to generate a score; so if a business doesn't meet these requirements, a score is not generated. Minimum information is at least one tradeline and/or one demographic element).
