Start with fundability
Keep your legal business name, address, licenses, phone, domain email, and bank records consistent. A documented foundation helps lenders and vendors verify your business; it does not guarantee credit.
DUNS and business bureaus
A DUNS number identifies your business at Dun & Bradstreet. Check your business files at Experian Business and Equifax Business too. A registration or identifier alone does not create a strong credit history.
Net 30 accounts and tiers
Net 30 means an invoice is generally due within 30 days. Begin with useful vendors that actually report, understand fees and terms, and pay early when practical. Additional store, fleet, or card accounts may become options as your reporting history grows; there is no guaranteed tier progression.
Business is not personal credit
Business and personal reports are separate systems. Lenders may still consider your personal credit or require a personal guarantee. Keep business money separate and understand who is legally responsible before signing.
