A good credit score can be a welcomed business partner when you're looking to expand or remodel. Here's what you can do to keep you score healthy:

• Keep the same credit cards for as long as you can. A long-term line of credit gives you a higher score than a new card just issued.
• Pay your bills. Pay credit cards in full every month. Pay your student loans, make your mortgage payments on time, etc.
• Check your credit report annually. Get a free report at www.annualcreditreport.com. You can see all of your credit activity, and it gives you the ability to promptly contest anything that's incorrect.
• Bankruptcy is the last thing you should consider. If you do choose to take this step, only do so with the advice of an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy. Remember, that your credit score will likely be severely damaged for at least seven years, and you will encounter some lenders who will never lend to you again, period.
• When it comes to financial pain, suffering is optional. Seek help and ensure that you and your practice are financially sound regardless of today's or tomorrow's economic whims.
