A stellar personal credit score unlocks favourable financial opportunities, and the same holds true for businesses. Your business credit score reflects the likelihood of your company's stability in the forthcoming year—and energy suppliers are paying attention.
At Smart Energy Co., we're committed to shedding light on how your credit standing could impact your energy bills. This guide delves into the essence of business credit scores, their influence on energy costs, and practical tips to enhance them.
Understanding Business Credit Scores
A business credit score is a financial litmus test, providing insight into your business's fiscal health. The components of this score include:
Company size and the number of employees.
Promptness in bill settlement.
Records of finance applications.
Directors' credit histories.
Credit scores are gauged on a scale from 1 to 100, with higher scores denoting a stronger financial position. Generally, a score of 40 or above is considered favourable for securing competitive energy contracts.
The Bearing on Energy Contracts
A subpar business credit score can significantly influence the tariffs and terms energy suppliers are willing to offer. If suppliers assess a customer as a credit risk, they may:
Reject a signed contract.
Impose additional premiums or request security deposits.
Enforce direct debit payment methods.
Install prepayment meters as a risk mitigation strategy.
Energy Contracts for Newly Incorporated Businesses
Launching a new venture is an exhilarating step, but it also comes with its own set of challenges—especially when it comes to setting up essential services like energy. Without a trading history or credit score, you might feel your options are limited, with many suppliers hesitant to offer contracts. Typically, new businesses might default to staying with the current supplier of their premises, which may not always offer the most competitive rates.
