Why build business credit? Building business credit allows a business owner to protect their personal credit while establishing the creditworthiness of the business itself. With a separate legal entity such as a corporation or limited liability company, you have the unique ability to create a credit identity for the business also known as a business credit profile with the business credit reporting agencies.

It’s treated as a separate being. Basically, you have the ability to create a credit file in your company’s name using your EIN number.
