• Business loans: Commercial borrowing, what lenders read in a business file, and how the assessment differs from personal credit.

How borrowing works locally

A lender is free to set its own price below the legal ceiling, and it does so according to the risk it reads in the file.

Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time. Joint applications combine two incomes and two sets of obligations in the same assessment.
