CUSTOMER CREDIT APPLICATION TEMPLATE FAQ


What is a customer credit application?

A Customer Credit Application is a form a business uses to collect information about a customer before offering credit terms (for example, Net 30) or an ongoing charge account. It helps the business verify identity, set credit limits, and reduce payment risk.


What information should be included in a credit application?

Typical fields include: customer name, legal entity details (if business), billing and shipping addresses, contact information, requested credit limit, bank/trade references, and authorization to verify credit information.


Should the application include credit terms and late fees?

Yes, if you want the application to function as an enforceable agreement for credit terms. This template includes basic payment terms, late fees (optional), and collection costs language.


Do you need a personal guarantee?

Sometimes. If the customer is a new business or has limited credit history, you may request a personal guarantee from an owner. This template includes an optional guarantee section.


How do you handle privacy and consent?

Include clear consent to contact references and verify information, and limit use of application data to credit evaluation and account management. This template includes an authorization clause and a confidentiality note.
