Business Credit

[w0283767]

Yard card and Sheffield generally offer the best terms for New purchases. Can usually get zero percent financing for up to 48 months. I just did that for my ferris ztr. Just make sure you pay timely or the rate jacks up on you of you go that route.

Bank of america had 5x point offers at one time.

I am sure I am running a lot more credit month to month then a lot of you guys, and for the most part the business is still tied to my personal credit. It is very difficult to get the two separated on a single owner business. I would think even harder when your dealing with smaller businesses such as outdoor power dealers and nursery's as your main suppliers. But to start the process go to dnb.com and get a number to give the businesses you have credit with.

As for personal credit moving credit cards often is a bad idea, another thing you can do is go to creditkarma.com and monitor your credit and use the tools to help improve your credit report. I personally took my score up almost 20 points since I started really paying attention.

As for buying equipment the best programs currently that I know of are from GE capital, Sheffield, and Yard Card. Depending on the mower line and month as they change often.
