How to Open a Business Credit File with Experian

The other day I got asked which business credit reporting agency is most widely used by banks and credit card issuers when checking a business credit file. Without a doubt I would have to say Experian Commercial which leads me to writing today’s post.

What is a business credit file? A business credit file is created by a business credit reporting agency when a credit grantor reports information associated to a company’s credit account. A business credit file is used by credit grantors during the decision-making process to determine whether or not to extend credit to a business.

Your credit file gets opened with Experian when a credit grantor reports your company’s data to Experian Commercial. In order to accomplish this, your business needs to establish a business credit account with a credit grantor that reports to Experian.
