The Overlooked Side of Credit & Business Growth

Hey Creditpreneur family,

Most people talk about credit strictly as a tool to get access to funding. But as a business owner, I’ve learned credit can be so much more; it’s a strategy for growth when used the right way.

Here’s how I’ve been leveraging it beyond the usual:

- Building vendor relationships that extend better terms (instead of burning cash upfront)

- Using credit strategically for inventory cycles so cash flow never feels “tight”

- Separating personal & business credit early, so opportunities scale without personal risk

- Turning credit lines into leverage for partnerships and even marketing pushes

What I realized is this: Credit isn’t just about fixing your score, it’s about positioning your business to seize opportunities faster than competitors.

Now I’d love to hear from fellow entrepreneurs here:

- How are you currently using credit in your business beyond just loans or cards?

-And if you’re just starting, what’s the one thing about credit you wish someone had told you earlier?

Let’s turn this thread into a playbook that goes deeper than the surface-level advice
