TODAY’S TIP: Look before you borrow. Get a copy of your credit report before you attempt to secure equipment financing. Your credit history could contain wrong or hurtful information that you’ll want to explain to a potential lender. Always be up front about your problems. Showing that you have overcome hard times demonstrates determination and strong character.
