Do a search about business loans and bad credit and you will see result after result touting some way or another where you can fool the banks and lenders into giving you a business loan.
Follow those results and for the most part you will only end up poorer (paying those companies or individuals a fee) and still not getting the business loan you want or need.
Banks and lenders use credit histories and credit scores as a time saving measure. You request a loan, they pull your credit. If your credit is bad or below their threshold, they don't waste anymore time on your deal request and can move on to other deals that have a better chance of getting funded.
I deal with entrepreneurs everyday that complain about how their bank or a private lender just won't look at their deal because they have bad credit. I constantly hear the same thing:
"Why won't they just look at the merits of my business and not focus so much on my personal credit as it is my business that will be paying the loan back!"
My answer is always the same:
1) That is how the financial markets work, and
2) If you want to get approved based solely on the merits of your business then find the right business loan that focuses only on the merits of your business.
