Getting hold of corporate business credit is the most effective approach to building and expanding pretty much any business. No matter whether it is real estate, a shiny new franchise, a cafe or restaurant, a home business or even a network marketing business, it doesn’t matter. Your company must have capital.

In reality, during this crazy sluggish economy, getting corporate business credit is even more important than ever. For a lot of businesses, being able to access corporate credit often is the difference between having a happy prospering company or folding up shop and winding up just another failed business statistic.

Sad to say, a lot of business owners make all the wrong moves and awful mistakes when they are trying to secure corporate business credit. The following are the top three deadliest mistakes a lot of entrepreneurs make.

WARNING: Make these 3 mistakes and your dreams of getting corporate business credit will most likely never come about.

Corporate Business Credit Deadly Mistake #1: (This can be a big one).

Not isolating your personal credit from your business credit: Wow, I really cannot believe how many entrepreneurs commit this error. Don’t under any kind of circumstances “personally guarantee” your “business credit”. I don’t care what the financial institution claims (it’s in their best interest to get you on the hook personally for the line of credit in case there is default) in no way, ever personally guarantee any company credit.

If you have to personally guarantee it then it’s not really “business credit” is it? Let’s be honest. 89.7% of new business start-ups collapse within their very first six months. The whole idea of obtaining corporate business credit is so that if your company fails you are not personally responsible for any credit that was extended to the business.

You do not want the bank attaching a lien on you personally and then losing your house, your vehicles and the shirt off your back just because your company is unsuccessful.

Corporate Business Credit Deadly Mistake #2: (This one is nearly as bad as the first).

Attempting to get corporate business credit all by yourself instead of hiring a professional: I’ve seen business owners make this nutty error again and again. It commonly happens after you go to some bogus corporate credit “guru” seminar in which a fast talking “salesman” (pretending to be a corporate credit professional) goes up on stage and persuades you into getting his “super secret”, quick credit course for thousands of dollars.

You jump into the home study course and then run out trying to follow the strategies in the program and establish corporate business credit by yourself. By the way, if you have fallen for that nonsense and tried building credit all by yourself, how is that working out for you?

You really don’t have to tell me since in my early days I made that exact same error myself and got absolutely nowhere exactly like you most likely did. In fact, you might have even made your odds worse for ever acquiring business credit in the foreseeable future. Yes if you do the improper things you can actually harm your credit files so badly it will require years for even a specialist to get you corporate credit. Don’t make that mistake. Hire a professional from the beginning and you will not have that problem.

Corporate Business Credit Deadly Mistake #3: Drive too fast and you are going to end up in a ditch.

The third nail in your corporate business credit coffin is trying to build your corporate credit too fast. Much like when you are dating that hot new girlfriend, if you try to move too fast you are not going to get anywhere. You’ll fall short before you even get rolling.

Developing dependable corporate business credit takes time. Quit believing all of the fast talking credit gurus. Financial institutions are certainly not stupid (they were shrewd enough to get all of the bailout money) so what on earth makes you think some guru can outsmart them?

Let’s face it, if you try to take shortcuts and outsmart banks, before it’s all over the banks are going to teach you who is smarter.

Shady approaches like “piggy backing” another individual’s or a different company’s credit report as a way to prop up your Dun & Bradstreet credit rating could possibly have proved helpful back in 2004 when lenders were giving out credit lines to anyone with a pulse but not any longer.

Lenders are demanding and tight these days and when you do not have each and every item in order they will discover it and you will be declined any credit.
