When the job is complete, and the customer pays, the bills for the materials are settled. However, if the contractor has a bad credit standing with other local businesses, he/she will not have the necessary funds to buy the necessary supplies for a project.

Likewise, a business may have difficulty getting a loan for renovations or expansion. Instead of having the money to help the business grow and become more competitive, opportunities for increasing profits will slide by and go to a competitor, simply because bad credit negatively influences requests for the necessary funds.
