Why is my Equifax score so much lower than the other business bureaus?
Why is my Equifax score so much lower than the other business bureaus?

Business credit scores often vary for businesses, so it’s not unusual to have one or two scores that are high and the other that’s quite low. Equifax is the bureau that companies report to the least.

If you don’t have a lot of accounts reporting, that’s most likely the reason you have a lower score with that bureau. (Nav Prime reports to all the major business bureaus. Get Nav Prime here).

Also, Equifax typically starts most businesses at a baseline score of 340 to 390. Head here for a detailed breakdown on how Experian, FICO SBSS, Dun & Bradstreet, and Equifax scores work.

Strong business and personal credit are important pieces of your overall financial health — these are often reviewed by lenders, credit issuers, and prospective business partners. Plus, strong business and personal credit enable new financial opportunities for your business. Good business credit also often allows you to buy now and pay later, which can improve cash flow.

Nav Prime is the only solution that gives you a detailed view of both business and personal credit health — while helping you build business credit history with up to two tradelines. Click here to get Nav Prime.
