The business credit score is of great significance in the process of availing capital loans from both banking & non-banking financial agencies. A business Credit Score is an objective evaluation of the “creditworthiness” of your company and is highlighted in the credit report (prepared through detailed market analysis) of the company’s loan application. It instantly makes or breaks your chances of procuring a working capital loan and/or other corporate facilities. Business Credit scores are measured across various standards such as the PAYDEX Credit score, financial stress credit score, Experian Business credit score, Equifax credit score, CIBIL score, etc. Of these, the CIBIL score is the most widely score used for Indian MSMEs.
To successfully raise working capital (with little downtime and at competitive interest rates), a company must have a CIBIL score of at least 700 (ideally 750 and above).
