 TITLE: How to Maintain Your Business Credit Score During the COVID-19 Crisis CONTENT: How Can Your Business Credit Score Help You During an Economic Crisis (and After)?\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDuring an economic crisis, banks and other lenders often tighten their criteria for loans and other financing. Having a strong business credit score can help your business get approved for credit and obtain more favorable terms. A good business credit score also shows suppliers, partners and landlords that you're creditworthy, which may make them more willing to negotiate with you during a crisis. For example, a supplier who knows you are creditworthy might let you extend payment to net 60 or even net 90 rather than net 30.\nAccess to credit during a downturn can enable your business to take advantage of opportunities that other, financially strapped companies are forced to pass up. When the economic crisis passes, your business will be better positioned to benefit from pent-up customer demand. END
