<prompt> Human: Not sure if I should be posting this here or in a another subreddit, so please let me know if there is a better place for this.My mother has recently started her own business and has looked into opening a 25,000 line of credit up. They told her credit was not good enough and that she would need someone to cosign with her and has asked me since my credit score is decent.I do work with her part-time in her company at the moment and she isnt pressuring me to do this but she is telling me that this will not impact my personal credit score since it will using the companys EIN.This sounds a little too good to be true and she definitely doesnt have the best credit history so it is kind of worrying me since I dont know too much about this. I have little to no financial knowledge about how this works and was hoping someone might know a little more.  <response>: My mother has recently started her own business and has looked into opening a 25,000 line of creditNever cosign with family unless you are fully prepared to pay off that 25,000 if she defaults or something happens to her. 25,000 isnt a very big line of credit so that should probably tell you something about her current financial state if she cant get approved on her own.
