So, by knowing what your business credit score is, you can get an indication of the health of your business. A credit report differs slightly from a credit score. While a credit report contains the details of your credit history to date, a score is simply a number which is derived from the information on your credit report. For more information, please speak to your broker.

These include registered defaults, potential loan enquiries or any external administrations that may be registered against a business.

No, OnDeck’s Know Your Score program does not leave a footprint on your credit profile. This means your business credit score will not change as a result of finding out your score.
Finding out your business credit score from the Know Your Score service is only available to companies and businesses with an ASIC registered business name.
There are a couple of reasons why your business may not receive a business credit score:
- Your business isn’t registered with ASIC, scores can only be provided for Companies or Sole Trader and Partnerships that have a registered business name.
- The business and/or all of the directors/proprietors are not currently credit active or have not been credit active (credit active is where a person or organisation has had a credit enquiry recorded on the Equifax Bureau in the past 5 years).
- There is a petition to wind up or the business is under External Administration.
- At least one of the directors and/or proprietors has been insolvent in the last 7 years.
While this information is useful, it is worth investigating further why your business doesn’t have a credit score. When you use the Know Your Score tool you’ll be given more information on what to do next.
