Business credit is different from personal credit and is essential for protecting personal assets and building a credible financial reputation for your company.
To build business credit, ensure consistency in your business details across all platforms, avoid using personal assets for business funding, and start with trade accounts that report to credit bureaus.
Having a US-issued EIN and not being in a restricted industry category are prerequisites to working with credit building services like JGalt Finance, which can help businesses achieve an 80+ Paydex score within 12 months or less.
