Frequently Asked Questions
Business Credit can be referred to as many things, one of them being Trade Credit. Trade or Business Credit is the single largest source of credit and bartering on terms in the world so far, vastly out-seeding personal credit.
We all know what a FICO score is and the algorithms used by Fair Issac, and in general everyone knows that when making a large personal purchase, a score over 800 is considered good.
Based upon that score, we all know we are going to get approved for personal credit products running the gamut from credit cards to home loans.
What is truly amazing is that business owners do not know what their Paydex or Intelliscores are. Business credit is almost exactly like personal credit.
When you start a business and structure it correctly, it is a separate, living, breathing entity that has its own credit and it will outlive you as the primary principle or share holder.
It certainly dumbfounds us at Business Builders why 9 out of 10 businesses fail due to cash flow issues, especially when given basic common knowledge of business credit scores.
Would you ever buy a home without knowing your FICO score?
Perhaps 5 years ago you didn’t know, but this is the Internet age of unlimited information and there is simply no excuse to not fully take advantage of the cash flow enhancements using a separate credit profile for your business offers.
Secondly, and almost as important, what if you are one of the 90 percent who don’t make it when starting your business. Why in the world would you put you and your family as risk to lose everything?
Every single day members sign up because they previously had good personal credit and leveraged every last penny to build their business. They simply did not have the cash flow to sustain until they reached their dreams.
As entrepreneurs, it is in our spirit to try and try again until we do succeed and these hard lessons only make us stronger.
I personally implore you, as a business owner, that even if you do not join the Business Builders LLC program, get incorporated and use your business credit to achieve your success instead of putting your personal assets at risk.
As an all-star office supply sales representative in 2001, I was in the same situation. I decided that it was time to take my accounts with me in the advent of the Internet age to achieve success while helping others do the same.
As an experienced and well-versed salesman, I found it was not too difficult to build a nationwide company.
What I did not know as the absolute most important aspect in building a business or being a real entrepreneur was credit and cash flow.
When clients didn’t pay on time, I could not pay on time and that was a harsh lesson for me and my own personal credit. If my company was going to sell hundreds of thousands in office supplies every month, I had to have corporate credit!
Thus began the journey into helping literally tens of thousands of start-ups all the way through to well-established Fortune 10000 companies.
Today we have the most intensive research staff that seek out and explore the latest and hottest ways to legally strengthen, build, grow and establish a separate business entity.
There are two main ways business credit can help you.
First, we can help you build your business credit profile so you will be approved online for credit cards instantly without using your social security number.
These simple credit cards translate into cash flow, whether it be for Dell computers, Office Supplies, Office Furniture, Phones, Equipment, Trucks, or regular Credit Cards
The second way we can help is sometimes industry specific. If I am a construction company and want to bid a job and take a deposit, how do I get my materials?
It is so simple and basic. If I am a clothing company or store, and I want to get all my hot new items for the Christmas season WITHOUT using my personal credit, how do I do this? Just have the wholesaler or manufacturer finance you.
Everyone knows what NET-30 billing is, but it is incredulous that with a little attention and a few hundred dollars, you can increase your credit lines with trade credit 100-fold! You CAN have the purchasing and trade credit leverage of companies that are ten times the size of your company.
As a business owner/ entrepreneur, how can you possibly start or grow a business and expect to be successful without having or knowing your business credit score?
That is our mission – to help as many business owners as possible realize their dreams and guide them through one of the most simple, yet most important aspects of their business – Cash Flow.
If you are in desperate need of money to stay afloat, I hope we can help you. There is no other service or place on the planet that has more insider information or real assistance than Business Builders.
If you are building your business, don’t be crazy, KNOW your credit scores, PAY your bills on-time, and LEARN how to create the business credit of a company PRO-actively.
Better yet, don’t use ANY personal credit, family money, venture capital – start your business using business credit and grow it fast!

Once you have become a member of the Business Builder program, we will work together to asses what your credit goals are and what type of business credit cards are most beneficial. Initially it is necessary to lay the foundation for your business as a separate legal entity.
READ: “How We Do It” HERE
This process includes: obtaining and registering your company address and phone number, choosing a business structure, and getting incorporated. Your assigned technician will double check all of these areas to make sure that you are listed correctly and are in full compliance to build proper and separate business credit.
Next we begin by opening what are called “vendor” accounts. These are large nationwide companies that will extend credit to your corporation based upon the very minimal credit your company may have.
Concurrently, we are going to be obtaining your company’s credit identifying numbers (DUNS and Experian BIN) , at no cost, NEVER pay for these! There are various tricks and techniques for getting these overnight.
As your company places very small and minimal initial orders with the vendors (selling things you need like office supplies), Business Builder is also reporting your open credit line with us per your monthly credit extension and membership fee.
During this initial jump-start period we are going to look at what credit your company might already have and see if we can add those lines or perhaps push the process a long even faster if they have been reported.
Some corporations may even already have a Paydex score established which is fairly easy but not enough trades with high enough amounts, equaling only minor credit, like a staples credit line for example.
Once this stage is complete we move on to the Commercial Credit areas where we start by getting approvals from Citi backed cards such as corporate / commercial gas cards, office supply companies, computer vendors, direct vendors like Apple or Tiger Direct etc. This in turn, if done in the proper sequence, avoids any extraneous inquiries or frustrating declines.
Again at no time do we EVER want to use the owner (s) personal guarantee for anything as it defeats the purpose of separating one’s credit files. We will work together on a massive list of retail creditors and the requirements that each one requires to get approved.
Here is where most DIY researchers make the most mistakes and pro long any real results for months and years, inquiries DO matter when it comes to business credit.
Entrepreneurs by nature want to do everything themselves and a lot of us have our lives wrapped up in our business so we are “control freaks” to put it mildly. Those that go it alone end up destroying their Experian scores almost every time thinking that they can find the applications themselves online and know what they are doing.
Once you have more than a few declines without really knowing what to do next your business credit approvals will halt for many months. We run into his every day. Don’t trust ANYTHING you read from a forum, ever.
The final step that the Business Builder program goes over is leveraging your business credit score to obtain advanced approvals. Some of the advanced approvals we will help you secure are no PG credit cards (Yes, Visa and M/C without a SSN), LOC’s, cash loans, large equipment leasing, micro loans, and purchasing private and commercial property.
program, you will receive a user name and password to use when accessing the members only area of the website. We will work together to asses what your credit goals are and what type of business credit cards are most beneficial.

It takes 60 to 180 days to establish a good file with business credit agencies and get the approvals without a personal guarantor.
If you have a credit score of 700+ you can get credit in as little as 5 weeks. *Restrictions Apply
If you don‘t have good credit and you want us to create a new TRADE NAME entity that does have good credit to act as the personal guarantor and you as the Authorized Representative “responsible party” then we can arrange the paperwork necessary for this to happen. Just give us a call, and we can explain the process with you.
What normally takes years we can establish within a matter of months based on pro-actively following certain simple steps in the exact order and correctly.
Think about it, will any real lender finance you personally without good FICO credit scores? The answer is NO. If you have bad or no personal credit, you can only find very high interest money.
The same is true if you have no business credit scores. No real lender will finance your business if it does not have good business credit scores.
Did you know that without having good business credit scores, lenders will rely solely on your personal credit? So, if you have a FICO score above a 700, and are willing to risk your personal credit, then you have a chance of being financed.
Less than optimal personal credit will result in declines, unless of course you have stellar business credit scores.
We have a list of dozens of vendors that will offer lines of credit to all Business Builder members during the start-up phase. Over the years we have developed relationships with these companies to offer our members exclusive deals that no one else receives.
Most importantly, these vendors will report your positive trades with Dun and Bradstreet and Experian Business. The vendors know that as an Business Builder member, you are dedicated to building a strong business credit profile, and therefore, will be afforded a credit line without a personal guarantee.
This is any area however where you should also be careful as over the years bad information has propagated and what and who reports, additionally many companies like a mirror to personal credit scams and will charge and get their word out via forums that they report and you should basically pay them for a useless product or service and it will get reported.
This can and does most of the time get your business red flagged. These companies contact us all the time, and each one thinks the idea is a new one. Every time DNB finds out and we know of hundreds of companies permanently flagged again trying to do this on their own with bad information.
The vendors you will be using with Business Builder are guaranteed to be accurate and ethical and the ones that have an exclusive agreement with us you will not find anywhere else for exactly this reason.
Some of the types of vendors that we are partnered with are:
- Office Supplies
- Graphic and Logo Design
- Computers and Electronics
- Printing and Promotional
- Web Design and E-Commerce
- Merchant, Banking, and Financial Services
- Marketing and Advertising
Yes that is what we do. We specialize in helping startup companies, like you, with little or no business credit history established, build business credit in order to obtain company credit cards, corporate leases and creative financing.

As a creative example, in addition to non-PG credit cards, we can do a lease-back where by you will lease equipment like a computer system, then lease-back the value for cash. This will have a slightly higher rate and you will be paying the lease and the interest on the loan but will accomplish your goal in obtaining extra cash without the need for a PG.
This is just one example of many ways we can use Business Credit creatively within step seven. Getting top tier auto financing, leasing and buying commercial property and equipment you might not be able to get with your personal credit or guarantee, the list can go on.

We can and will help you in this process and having solid business credit IS basically a requirement. Others include a solid business plan and other factors banks look at including the SBFE (Small Business Financial Exchange) We are not a “business loan broker” that charges outrageous fees to do some simple tasks or ruins your chances of the loan you need by going to the wrong bank because they have commissions.
