BUSINESS CREDIT APPLICATION (B2B) TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a business credit application (B2B)?

A Business Credit Application is a form a supplier uses to collect information about a business customer before offering trade credit (such as Net 30 or Net 60 terms). It helps the supplier evaluate risk, set a credit limit, and confirm billing and payment details.


What information should a B2B credit application include?

Common fields include: legal business name, entity type, tax ID, billing and shipping addresses, owners/officers, bank references, trade references, requested credit limit, purchase order contacts, and an authorization to verify information.


Does a credit application create a credit agreement?

It can, if it includes credit terms and the applicant agrees to them (for example, late fees, collection costs, and personal guarantees). This template includes basic credit terms and an optional personal guarantee section.


Should you require a personal guarantee?

It depends on your risk tolerance and relationship. New or small businesses may be asked for a personal guarantee, while established companies may not. This template includes an optional guarantee that you can include or remove.


How do you handle privacy and consent to verify information?

The application should include consent to contact references and verify banking and credit information. This template includes an authorization clause and a confidentiality note.
