As a small business owner, you may wonder if taking out a small business loan impacts your credit score. The answer to this question depends on a few factors. In many cases, small business loan defaults do not impact your personal credit score. However, there are a few situations where a small business loan can have an impact on your personal credit score. Protect Law Group is here to talk about knowing the right time and situation to get and not get a business loan. Get your finances handled by a team that cares by contacting us today!
There are a few situations where it's not a good idea to take out a small business loan default, even if you're confident you'll be able to make the payments. First, if your business is in a very early stage of development, it may not be wise to take out a loan. Your business may not yet have the revenue necessary to make loan payments.
In addition, if you have bad personal credit, you may not want to take out a small business loan. This is because lenders will likely view you as a high-risk borrower. As a result, you may be offered less favorable terms, such as a higher interest rate. If your business doesn't need the money immediately, it may be better to wait until your credit improves.
If you default on a small business loan, your personal credit score may be impacted. Defaulting on a small business loan can damage your personal credit score in the same way that defaulting on any other type of loan would damage your credit score. If you're considering taking out a small business loan default, make sure that you will be able to make the payments on time.

There are a few other situations where a small business loan default may impact your personal credit score. For example, if you use a personal guarantee to secure the loan, your personal credit score may be impacted if you default on the loan. Additionally, if you take out a small business loan and use your home as collateral, your personal credit score may be impacted if you default on the loan.

Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan balance of over $150,000. Business failed and eventually shut down. SBA then pursued client for the balance. We intervened and was able to present an SBA OIC that was accepted for $30,000.
Client personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan for $150,000. His business revenue decreased significantly causing default and an accelerated balance of $143,000. Client received the SBA's Official 60-Day Notice with the debt scheduled for referral to Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Service for aggressive collection in less than 26 days. We were hired to represent him, respond to the SBA's Official 60-Day Notice and prevent enforced collection by Treasury and the Department of Justice. We successfully negotiated a structured workout with an extended maturity date that included a reduction of the 14% interest rate and removal of substantial collection fees (30% of the loan balance), effectively saving the client over $242,000.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. Client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but we also save him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
