    What the Business Credit Builder does for you.

    Protect your personal credit

    Build accounts in the business's name. Stop putting business expenses on your personal cards.

    Higher credit limits

    Business credit limits run 10X to 100X higher than consumer cards.

    Three bureaus covered

    Build balanced reporting across D&B, Experian Commercial, and Equifax Commercial.

    The right order, always

    A 7-step sequence so you stop wasting applications on accounts you can't get yet.

    Most business owners try to build business credit the wrong way.

    You Google "starter business credit vendors." You apply to a list. Half don't report. A quarter deny you. The ones that approve don't show up on your credit profile because they don't report to the bureaus that matter. Three months later you have nothing.

    Common mistakes
    • ×Wrong order
      Applying for Tier 2 or 3 before Tier 1 is reporting. You get denied.
    • ×Wrong vendors
      Applying to 'starter' vendors that don't report. You build no real credit.
    • ×Wrong setup
      Applying with a residential address, personal phone, or Gmail. You get auto-flagged.
    • ×Wrong bureau coverage
      8 accounts at D&B, zero at Experian. A lender pulls Experian and sees nothing.

    Four tiers. One path. Real business credit at the end.

    Tier 1

    Tier 1: Starter Vendor Credit

    The first reporting accounts you open. Approve new businesses. Most don't require strong personal credit.

    Examples:
    Grainger, Quill, Uline
    Goal:
    At least 3 reporting accounts before moving up
    Difficulty:
    Easiest
    Tier 2

    Tier 2: Established Vendor Credit

    Vendors that look for some established business credit. With Tier 1 reporting, Tier 2 opens up.

    Examples:
    Fleet cards, store credit, service credit
    Goal:
    Add depth and additional bureau coverage
    Difficulty:
    Moderate
    Tier 3

    Tier 3: Higher-Tier Vendor Credit

    Stronger reporting. Higher limits. More flexibility in how the credit gets used.

    Examples:
    Retail credit cards, larger fleet accounts
    Goal:
    Build credit limits that match a real business
    Difficulty:
    Higher
    Summit · 12+ reporting accounts
    Tier R

    Revolving Credit

    Business credit cards and lines of credit. The accounts that take you to 12+ reporting accounts.

    Examples:
    Business Mastercard / Visa cards, business lines
    Goal:
    Cross the 12-account threshold. Unlock major funding.
    Difficulty:
    Depends on full profile

    Every vendor filtered to your profile.

    Inside Trade Vendor Match, you filter the list so you only see vendors that fit.
