What Is A Credit Rating?: Best Credit Monitoring Services
A credit rating determines not only whether or not a borrower will be approved for a
loan but also the interest rate at which the loan will need to be repaid. As companies
depend on loans for many startup and other expenses, being denied a loan could spell
disaster, and a high-interest-rate loan is much more difficult to pay back. One's credit
rating should play a role in determining which lenders to apply to for a loan. Credit
ratings also play a large role in a potential investor’s decision as to whether or not to
purchase bonds. A poor credit rating is a risky investment; it indicates a larger
probability that the company will be unable to make its bond payments.
