Personal credit is based on your social security number, 7-10 year credit history, a combination of payment patterns and balance to limit ratio’s on revolving credit.
Business credit is based on a companies EIN # ( a business social security number), it’s payment history, and financials. One of the biggest differences is with business credit the late payments that occur affect the credit more depending on how high the debt is in comparison with the other open accounts. If the late payments are made with a vendor that has a $20,000 debt owed and there are other vendors with higher debt owed the score will be affected less. If a business was late with a vendor that showed the highest debt on the credit report the scores would plummet. The payment history is dependent on dollar value of the debt for each vendor. The higher the debt of the vendor the heavier the dip in score if a late payment occurs.
