      <description>Funny that many people are willing to help you but not addressing the problem. As an expert on credit management, I like to give you my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This seem a typical growth related / cash flow / financing problem. The run a sustainable business you need two things:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1) profitable sales (rembeber: profit is not cash, just as sales is not profit and not cash either)&lt;br /&gt;
2) positive cash flow (cash inflow &amp;gt; cash outflow in a given period of time)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember: cash (in and out) flow can come from 3 sources: operational, investments and financial. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we focus on the operational side of the business, you can improve your cash by applying sound credit management / credit policies. So look at the risk and value of your current customers. What is the term of payment and how well do they pay you? If need, you analyze why your customers don't pay you in time. This a process which takes time before you start to see the effects. Furthermore you may look at other working capital components (accounts payable and inventory). Maybe there is some room for negotiation on terms or discounts. In the long run it will be beneficial for your operational results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then you have strong growth. Growth often implies investments (cash out) which mostly requires financing. So if banks are not willing to lend you money, then probably something is wrong with your cash flow development. You negative rating will certainly not be the only reason. One advice for the mid/long term: build a good relationship with you bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So investigate this first, find answers and see what you really need to improve your business performance / cash flow / financing needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kind regards,&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Why isn't your company generating enough cash flow to let you grow? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would suggest that if you have that many overbooking, you might want to consider raising your prices - I know your costs have gone up with gas prices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you rasie your prices a bit, you might lose some customers, but you can't service them now anyway.  You will generate more profit on less work and will be able to finance your growth yourself with our extra cash flow.</description>

Congratulations on your growth.   Most commercial lending concentrates less on personal credit score and more on cash flow. You may qualify for a non-traditional commercial loan or even an SBA loan &lt;br /&gt;
