Description

“Building Credit for Small Businesses” introduces entrepreneurs to the essential steps for establishing, managing, and strengthening both personal and business credit. The session explains how credit reports work, how lenders evaluate creditworthiness, and why strong credit is critical for accessing financing, managing cash flow, and growing a business. Participants learn practical strategies, such as maintaining healthy payment habits, separating personal and business finances, working with vendors who report payment history, and monitoring credit regularly, to build a solid credit foundation. This workshop empowers small business owners to use credit strategically as a tool for stability, opportunity, and long‑term success.

This webinar builds on the work of the Arizona Small Business Association’s SCALE program, which supports entrepreneurs through training, mentorship, and resources designed to help small businesses grow and access capital. As part of this ongoing effort, the session will be delivered as a live webinar, making it accessible to entrepreneurs across Arizona who want to strengthen their financial knowledge and build sustainable businesses.
