The 6 Secret Stages to Building Business Credit

Stages 1 and 2 are foundational. It is critical to complete them so your business is ready to build strong business credit scores.

Without completing Stages 1 and 2, it is impossible to build business credit scores separate from your personal credit scores.

Stages 3, 4, 5 & 6 are where you actually build business credit. Stage 3 is about setting up with all the business credit agencies: Equifax, Experian and Dun & Bradstreet. Stage 4 is for getting five vendor lines of credit reporting to the agencies. Stage 5 is for getting three business credit cards reporting to the agencies.
