As your venture grows, you may want to purchase more commercial real estate, acquire additional insurance policies and take out more loans to facilitate all these pursuits. With low or poor business credit, getting approval for all these transactions and acquisitions can be more difficult. To keep good credit, pay off all your debt funding as soon as possible. For example, don't let your business credit cards run a balance for more than a few weeks. Likewise, don't take out loans with interest rates that you can't afford. Only seek funding that you can quickly and easily repay. This will keep your credit in good standing for offensive purchases to further your company's growth.
