Your personal credit score is a report card (of sorts) for how responsible you’ve been with your credit. If you apply for a mortgage, auto loan, or credit card, the lender will run your credit to gauge your trustworthiness.

There’s another type of credit score solely for businesses to reflect how responsible an entity has been with its credit.
