Not having a company website can have a big impact in your ability to acquire business credit. Reviewing and verifying a company’s web presence is standard practice during a credit review.
Not having a website makes consumers and credit grantors trust you less. In fact, research shows 75% of people judge a company’s credibility based on its website design. The fact is people are more likely to do business with a company they trust, and a website is the first place they go to,
Set Up a Company Website
First, conduct a Domain Name Search to check the availability of the domain name you want for your business website. If your business name is already taken try some variations of it until you find an available one. Then purchase it.
Lenders and credit providers will check to see that you have a professional website and email address. Whether you want a new website that is custom built for your business or you prefer to upgrade your existing one, there is a solution.

Set Up a Dedicated Company Email Address
It’s important to get a dedicated company email address for your business. It’s not only professional, but greatly helps your chances of getting the thumbs up from a credit provider. A great example is an email such as sales@yourcompany.com or support@yourcompany.com.
What you want to avoid is using a free service like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. The email address has to be @yourcompany.com. There is nothing worse than potential credit providers noticing your company email address is buddyrocks21@yahoo.com. Setting up a business email address is easy and can be an add on option when registering your domain name.
