You can spend the rest of your life building credit for your company, but I am unaware of any bank that will provide a substantial and long term loan to just your company. Most likely, you will still have to personally guarantee the loan.

I own two companies and they both have credit records. Still, I cannot secure long term financing for either of them with out being ultimately responsible for the loan. Even if Coca Cola was to apply for a loan, there would still be an actual person to sign for it.

When I first started out, I had hopes of getting my companies "credit worthy" for a loan. It just isn’t going to happen. However, I do enjoy many benefits of corporate ownership such as my business lines of credit. They do not report on my personal credit and therefore don’t count against me as debt when I am obtaining long term financing in my name. Hope this helped.

Best of luck

Discounted Pay-Off Loan Financing

Does your lender need to eliminate commercial loans, performing or non-performing, to free up equity or to avoid regulatory issues (and are willing to discount your payoff amount)?

Does the FDIC want your loan off the books, and are willing to accept a reduced payoff amount?

If your lender is interested in a reduced payoff to clear your loan package, we work with a number of sources eager to finance such projects that offer viable exit strategies. These sources participate directly in negotiations with your lender.
