How to Build Business Credit

In today’s post we’re going to talk about a key fundamental step for building business credit for your company.

While acquiring credit from vendors, suppliers and other businesses that report to the business credit agencies is a widely known practice for establishing business credit; why not also have your business expenses build business credit too?

The fact is, if you have a business, you will have business expenses. These are costs you have in the ordinary course of running your business day-to-day. For example, putting gas in your car to go to a business appointment, taking a client out to lunch, paying utility bills, paying for postage to ship a product, etc.

When you pay for these expenses, it’s crucial to keep your personal finances separate from your business finances. You don’t want to commingle these expenses because it will cause a real challenge during tax time.

In addition, you should establish a budget, keep good records and implement an effective business credit building strategy.
