 TITLE: Best Online Business Loans CONTENT: Improve Your Credit Score to Get an Online Loan\n-----------------------------------------------\nOnline lenders generally consider your personal credit score as well as your business finances when deciding whether to approve your loan request. To find out what your personal credit score is, get a free credit score from Experian.\nYou may be able to get an online loan with a personal FICO® Score as low as 500, but because this is considered a poor credit score, you'll likely pay a relatively high interest rate for the money you borrow. Improving your personal credit score can help you qualify for more favorable credit terms in both your business and personal life.\nYou can improve your personal credit score by paying down debt, paying your bills on time and maintaining low or no balances on your credit cards. To build your business credit score, get a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), open business bank accounts, pay your bills on time and make sure your suppliers, vendors and business credit cards report your payments to the business credit bureaus.
