What Is a Credit Score?

Your credit score is a three-digit number that shows how well you manage credit. Lenders use it to decide whether to approve you for loans, credit cards, mortgages, and other financial products.

A higher score means lower risk, making it easier to borrow money and get better interest rates. A low score can limit your options or make borrowing more expensive.

What is a Good Credit Score?

Different credit agencies use different scoring ranges, but a higher score generally improves your chances of being approved for credit.

Menna Credit Score Bands

  • 810+ (Excellent): You’re in the best position for loan approvals and low interest rates.
  • 670+ (Very Good): Most lenders will offer competitive rates.
  • 530+ (Good): You’ll likely qualify for credit but may not get the best rates.
  • 440+ (Fair): Some lenders will still offer credit, but with higher interest rates.
  • Below 440 (Poor): Credit approval will be challenging, and you may need to improve your score first.

Why is the Menna Score Different?

Menna’s Combined Credit Score shows you how banks and lenders see your business – and what they’re looking for. By analysing both your personal and business credit reports together, Menna gives you a more accurate picture of your financial health.

Unlike a standard business credit score, Menna identifies all the factors affecting your access to credit and shows you the changes that really matter—helping you secure the best funding options.

What Goes into Your Menna Score?

Your score is based on a combination of financial data that lenders consider together when making credit decisions:

Length of credit history

Recent credit applications

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Menna Score different from a credit score?

Menna combines both business and personal credit scores, plus affordability insights, to give you a complete financial picture—something traditional credit scores don’t provide.

Why does my personal credit score matter for my business?

Most small business lenders check personal credit scores, especially if your business is new or has limited history. Strong personal credit can improve your chances of getting approved for business funding.

Will checking my Menna Score affect my credit rating?

No. Menna provides a soft check, meaning it won’t impact your credit score or appear on your credit report.

How often is my Menna Score updated?

Your score updates regularly as new financial data becomes available, so you can track improvements over time.
