Business Credit Building
In Our Business Credit Building Program we help you to build your Business Credit Profile to help you establish Business Credit. We help you to establish business credit with a goal to get you business funding from one of our business funding partners.
Building Business Credit is a totally different process than establishing or building one’s personal credit. Business Credit Scores are established Solely on your Business payment history.

- In selecting a virtual address be sure that when the address is googled the back of a building, warehouse, or home address doesn’t come up

Tier 1
Tier 1 of 3 in the Business Credit Building Process is where you obtain NET 30 Accounts to start getting some payment history reported. You need at least 6 Payments reporting to move on to Tier 2
What are NET 30 Accounts?
Net 30 Accounts are simply named by the account payment terms. Net 30 Creditors allow you to make a purchase, you receive your items, and your invoice has to be paid within 30 days from the date of purchase. Net 45 and 55 accounts are also common.
**A good practice while building your business credit is to pay at least 5-10 days before your invoice is due** Example: A Net 30 account you would pay on Day 20**
⭐️⭐️ If your personal credit is GOOD, you can bypass Tier 1, go straight to Tier 3 get a few Cash Credit Cards, then circle back to Tier 1 to solidify your Business credit foundation ⭐️⭐
Tier 2
Tier 2 is where you would apply for Store Credit. Don’t move onto this tier unless you have completed Step one and have at least 6 payments reporting from Net 30 Accounts.
