Crushing Chaos with Law Firm Mentor

Effective Use of Credit in Law Firms


Listen Later

A lot of business owners have misconceptions around lines of credit and debt. Credit and debit are a necessary part of growing a business. Once debt has been accumulated, it is important to create a system to repay your debt. I will be going over all the ins and outs of taking accumulating debt to grow your business in this episode. 

In today's episode we discuss:

  • Debt is an advance that affords an opportunity to invest in your business that will give you a greater return. 
  • How to use debt and learn how to use it effectively.
  • Recognizing that there is a great distinction between credit card debt and a line of credit.
  • Creating a schedule of repayment as soon as there is any money on the credit card.

Now, increasing the line of credit gives you a benefit of decreasing your income to debt ratio, right? So if I have a card and it has a 9000 credit limit and I have spent $3,000, I've used 33% of my credit. However, if I get them to increase that credit limit to 10,000, my credit utilization rate goes down to only 30%. So I've done nothing other than secure more credit, but that will typically trigger an increase in my FICO score, my credit score.
