Good business credit can be very beneficial. Great business credit can give you a lot of power in the business community.
Consider your business credit as your first impression. It is one of the first, and often one of the only, things that another company or financial institution considering working with you will want to look at. And there are almost endless reasons you want to make a good impression.
•To Secure a Line of Credit – If the time is right for your business to grow, you need to know you can get the capital you need from a lending institution to make the growth successful.
•To Bring in A Business Partner – If you want someone to invest in your company, or even merge their company with yours, they are going to want to make sure you are running a viable company that has a positive history. A positive credit history will give them a peek into the likelihood that the company will have a positive future.
•Selling Your Business – If you have a business model that is doing well but you're ready to move onto another venture, the better your overall business profile is (i.e. your business credit), the more desirable your business will be to potential buyers.
•Leasing An Office or Building – Want to move into bigger digs? Maybe you would like to be able to try out putting your office in a better part of town or a more strategically intelligent location. When you go to talk to a broker about getting a new location, they are going to look at your business credit record to see if you are a smart risk.
•To Lease Equipment – Could you really kick up production at your business if you had the right equipment? But what if that equipment is too costly to buy? Many companies will lease equipment to companies, but they will take a look at your credit report first. They want to know that you are responsible, which can be proven by the fact that you have good business credit and pay your bills on time.
•To Increase Inventory – The key to making great retail sales is being able to get your items at a lower price than the next guy. That way the mark up doesn't need to be as high in order for you to make a good profit. The more money you have in a line of credit (which is available with a good business credit rating) the more you will be able to buy from your supplier at a better deal.
The positive aspects of good business credit just can’t be denied. Without it, your company can be held back while your competition jumps ahead.

Sweep away leaves and debris from between the deck boards. Dirt and leaves build up and cause standing water to remain on top of the deck rather than draining through. Proper ventilation is important to avoid moisture build up and damage to the wood. Mildew can be very damaging and should be removed as soon as it appears. Clean the deck thoroughly with a product specially designed for wood decks. Weathered wood, rust spots, mold and mildew will ruin the look of your new deck and cause rotting. If the deck is new and untreated, cleaning restores the wood to its natural beauty and removes ground in dirt that prevents the adhesion of stains and sealers. An older deck will require the use of a stripper to remove any deteriorating finish before cleaning.
Flower pots and planters which set directly on the deck’s surface may cause staining. They should be moved around often to minimize this effect. You can also set them on cedar board to create space between the deck and the planter. Cedar has natural compounds that resist deterioration, rot and decay while allowing moisture to evaporate.
When the deck is clean, allow it to dry thoroughly, and then apply a sealer to protect it from rain, sleet, snow and ice which will cause the wood to warp or crack. Thompsons water seal can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer. It is a quick and affordable way to protect your investment and keep your deck looking like new for many years. One coat is sufficient to protect the wood through a harsh winter. If winters are relatively mild, you may not need to seal it every year. If water beads up on the wood and doesn’t soak in, the sealer is still doing its job and you won’t need to seal it.
It is only necessary to apply the sealer to the top surface of the wood. Coating the wood on all sides prevents any moisture that does get in from escaping, causing the wood to rot from the inside.
In the winter, shovel the snow with a plastic shovel, moving lengthwise on the deck boards to prevent scratching the wood. Avoid using salt as it could discolor the wood and damage deck finishes.
Your deck is one of your largest outdoor investments. Simple maintenance will keep it protected through the winter months so you can enjoy it in the warmer season. Clean it every spring and fall and use a quality deck sealer before winter to protect your investment.
