What We Do

Three Pillars of Business Credit

Business credit is a financial identity separate from yours. We build it across three areas so lenders and vendors see a credible, fundable business — not just a personal borrower.

🏛️

Business Foundation Setup

LLC or corporation registration, EIN acquisition, dedicated business address, phone, and bank account — the structural layer lenders check before approving credit.

📊

Credit Profile Building

We open your Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax Business profiles, then build your Paydex score through strategic vendor tradelines that report monthly. Our credit monitoring service tracks your progress across all three bureaus.

💳

Funding Access

Once your profile is established, we guide you to business credit cards with EIN only, business lines of credit for startups, and SBA-backed loans — all based on your business identity, not your SSN. Many clients ask how to establish business credit fast; this phase is the answer.

Why It Matters

What Strong Business Credit Unlocks

  • ✓

    Protect Your Personal Credit Score

    Business debt stays off your personal report — keeping your SSN credit profile clean for home loans and personal financing.

  • ✓

    Higher Credit Limits

    Business credit lines and business credit cards obtained through your EIN routinely run 10–100x higher than personal cards — giving your company real capital to grow. Startups can access a business line of credit within months of establishing credit.

  • ✓

    Better Vendor Terms

    Net-30 and net-60 accounts let you purchase inventory and supplies now and pay later — improving cash flow.

  • ✓

    Qualify for SBA Loans

    A strong business credit profile is a primary factor in SBA loan approval — opening up low-interest government-backed funding.

  • ✓

    Build Business Credibility

    Vendors, landlords, and partners check your business credit. A strong profile signals stability and professionalism.

Full Service List

Everything Included in Business Credit Building

We handle the entire process — from entity setup to active tradelines and funding applications.

01

Business Entity Verification

We confirm your business is structured correctly — entity type, registered agent, and state filing status — before we build credit on it.

02

D&B DUNS Registration

Dun & Bradstreet is the most widely used business credit bureau. We register your DUNS number and activate your Paydex score from scratch.

03

Vendor Tradeline Program

We connect you with starter vendors — office supply, fuel, and wholesale accounts — that approve new businesses and report to business bureaus monthly.

04

Experian & Equifax Business

We ensure your business profile is active and accurate on all three major business credit bureaus — not just D&B — for maximum lender coverage.

05

Credit Monitoring & Disputes

We monitor your business credit reports monthly and dispute any inaccurate entries — keeping your profile clean and your scores climbing.

06

Funding Strategy Consultation

Once your profile qualifies, we map out the specific cards, credit lines, and SBA programs you are eligible for — and walk you through each application.

Common Questions

Business Credit FAQ

Most clients see reportable business credit within 60 to 90 days. A full fundable profile — one that qualifies for business credit cards and lines of credit — typically takes 4 to 6 months. The timeline depends on how quickly vendor accounts begin reporting and whether any corrections need to be made to your business information across bureaus.
Yes. Business credit is built on your EIN — your Employer Identification Number — not your Social Security Number. Starter vendor accounts and the early phases of business credit building do not require a personal credit check. This is one of the primary advantages: you can establish strong business credit even while our team works on repairing your personal credit score simultaneously.
The Paydex score is Dun and Bradstreet’s business credit score, ranging from 0 to 100. A score of 80 or above indicates that a business consistently pays its bills on time — which is the threshold most lenders look for. A high Paydex score makes your business significantly more attractive to vendors, landlords, and financial institutions when evaluating credit applications.
Personal credit is tied to your Social Security Number and tracked by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Business credit is tied to your EIN and tracked by Dun and Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax Business — separate bureaus with separate scores. Building business credit keeps debt off your personal profile, often allows for higher limits, and protects your personal finances if the business faces difficulties. If managing debt is also a concern, our budget and debt counseling service can help you build a clear financial plan.
A formal business entity — LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp — is strongly recommended. While sole proprietors can obtain an EIN, lenders view an officially registered entity as significantly more credible. If you have not yet formed an LLC, you can register one with the Virginia State Corporation Commission — we can guide you through that process as the first step in your business credit journey. The cost and time involved are minimal compared to the funding access it unlocks.
This varies by business type, revenue, and time in business — but clients who complete Phase 4 of our program typically access between $25,000 and $150,000 in business credit through a combination of vendor accounts, business credit cards, and revolving lines of credit. Some clients with stronger business financials qualify for SBA-backed loans well above that range. We will give you a realistic projection during your free consultation.
No — when done correctly, business credit building has no impact on your personal credit score. Vendor accounts and business tradelines report to business bureaus only. The exception is if you personally guarantee a business credit account, which some issuers require in early stages. We advise clients on exactly which accounts require a personal guarantee and which do not, so you can make informed decisions throughout the process.
Yes. Our office is located at 11 South 12th Street, Suite 515, Richmond, VA 23219. We serve clients locally in Richmond and across Virginia, as well as clients nationwide.
