I started a business 14yrs ago with $200K from CCs @ 8.9%
it's now down to 2.99-4.99%. Bank rate is 7.5% plus collateral.
And just paying the cards back brings airline miles, etc. If it is
used responsibly, they work great.

Apachem,
Did you borrow your money from a guy wearing a PINKIE RING AND EATTING A CANOLI? At the time Prime was 5% and today was brought down to 4.5%
You said you have a LOC priced at 7.5%? That’s Prime + 2.5% . . .paying 1.5% more than you should.
Now you are paying a full 2% more . . .is your prime rate floating or fixed?
What is your companies sales for the past two (2) years? EBITDA? Net Income?
Do you have a strong balance sheet?
Do you have a cash or accrual tax return?
You have to shop around Apachem, it’s the time to take advantage of the credit money – depending on your credit history!

Personal credit score is a very minimal factor . . .it comes down to the cash flow of your company, equity in the business and profitability.
Debit Service Coverage is a great way to tell.
First let’s look at your companies EBIDA!
Lenders never look at just your bottom line.
So look at your total taxable income and add back depreciation & interest.
Let’s say your taxable income is $30M + $20M in depreciation and $10M in interest.
Your total EBIDA will be $60M
Now what amount of line credit should you apply for? Do you have a high A/R ageing? Are all receivable less than 90 days?
So back to the DSC . . we have a EBIDA of $60M . .lets see how much of a LOC you should have
EBIDA/ 33% of your LOC + Int.
So lets say your looking for a $200M
33% of a $200M LOC would be $66M and Int. if we assume you max out the LOC would be $12M
Now back to our formula:
$60M/ $66M + $12M = .77x
DSC should not be less than 1.0X
$200M would not be enough
