Top 5 Net 30 Vendors for Building Business Credit

January 5, 2021 By Marco Carbajo

Net 30 Vendors for Building Business Credit

In today’s post we’re going to share with you our top five net 30 vendors for building business credit. Best of all, these five vendors will extend credit to your business without a personal credit check or personal guarantee. net 30 vendors for building business credit

Whether your business is just getting started or if you’ve been in business for some time, these five vendors will provide you a jump start in building business credit.

As you know, establishing a credit file for your business occurs when companies, suppliers, vendors, lenders, etc. share your payment experience with an agency they share data with.

First, let’s cover why you should use a net 30 vendor?

When you get approved for a credit line with a vendor you have the ability to purchase their products and services on credit and defer payment for 30 days. This allows you to conserve cash flow while establishing business credit at the same time.

To get approved there are minimum requirements that virtually any business can meet. Such as an incorporated business, employer identification number, business bank account, etc.

The vendors we list in this post will not require a credit check or personal guarantor. This allows you to create a clear separation between you and your business.

Look at vendor credit as a stepping stone to greater financing opportunities. With multiple tradelines reporting, you provide other credit grantors the ability to assess how you manage your business credit. They assess your creditworthiness by pulling your business credit report.

5 Easy Approval Net 30 Accounts

January 29, 2019 By Marco Carbajo

Easy Approval Net 30 Accounts

In today’s post we’re going to reveal five easy approval net 30 accounts that help you build business credit. Whether you’re a startup or existing business this post will provide you a jump start in the business credit building process. easy approval net 30 accounts

Also, we have included a special bonus at the end of this post on how to add up to 8 trade lines to your business credit report in less than 30 days.

So, let’s get started.

What are Net 30 accounts?

A net 30 account is credit that’s extended to you from a company, that allows you to buy their products and services on credit and pay the invoice in 30 days. Net 30 accounts are also known as vendor credit, supplier credit and trade credit.

You probably see it all the time circulating on the internet stating you got to get net 30 accounts to start building business credit. Net 30 accounts from vendors and/or suppliers is just one of the types of credit that you can obtain as a startup, existing business or even a real estate investor.

Starting out, if you’re a brand-new company and have no credit file established you typically can expect a small credit line from $500 -$1k and some even start higher than that.

Many vendors do not require any personal guarantee or personal credit check so that’s why a lot of business owners like to start out with net 30 accounts because they don’t want to use their personal credit.

One of the things I want to share with you though is if you do have strong personal credit then consider leveraging it with business credit card funding on top of net 30 accounts. This will dramatically speed up the business credit building process.

When Does A Vendor Credit Line Show Up On My Business Credit Reports?

April 5, 2013 By Marco Carbajo

Vendor Credit

Getting approved for a line of credit with a supplier is simply an opportunity for you to start building your company’s creditworthiness.  The key to establishing positive credit is to make regular puvendor credit rchases using your vendor credit lines and then paying invoices on or ahead of the due date.

If you do not make regular purchases then there is no way for you to establish any kind of payment history. So it is vitally important that you carefully select the suppliers you apply for credit with.

Make sure that you can use the products and services they offer to develop and grow your business.

Vendor Credit Lines Are Like Small Business Loans

April 5, 2010 By Marco Carbajo

Vendor Credit Lines

Qualifying for a bank loan or other traditional sources of business financing can seem like an impossible task if you’re like most small business owners that haven’t even begun to establish credit in the name of your business let alone have any type of business credit scores.Vendor Credit

You probably believe that you have no other choice but to use your personal credit but let me share with you a viable alternative before you slap down your plastic.

Vendor credit lines also known as trade credit is when a company extends credit to your company in order to allow you to buy its products and services upfront but defer the payment for a later date.

After you purchase a product they will issue an invoice which must be paid according to the terms of your agreement. If you’re a startup company or have no business credit then most net 30 vendors will have net 10 or net 15 day terms initially. Keep in mind these terms can be extended to net 30, 90 or even 120 day terms if you continue to build a solid payment history with your vendors.

Some of the major benefits include:

  • Conserving Cash Flow – By purchasing products or services and deferring the payments for a later date your business is able to conserve cash and have the funds it may need for other important expenses.
  • Establish Business Credit Scores – As each invoice is paid on time you begin establishing a positive payment history on your company’s credit files. Remember it takes a minimum of four accounts reporting to generate business credit scores on your Dun & Bradstreet business credit report.
  • Improve Credit Capacity – When your vendor credit limits increase so does your company’s overall credit capacity. Larger credit limits showing on your files will improve the overall creditworthiness of your business simply from the fact that banks and lenders will see that other companies are willing to extend credit to you in much larger amounts.
  • No Personal Credit Check or Guarantee – The majority of vendors will not require a personal credit check or guarantee which clearly protects your credit scores and liability.

Now for business credit building purposes there are some key factors that never get mentioned which can make all the difference in the world.

You see not all vendors report your payment history, in fact out of half a million vendors in the U.S. less than 6,000 supply payment data to a business credit bureau.  So either you should select the right companies to apply with or you can always purchase one of DNBs trade reference programs.

Several other factors to consider are the frequency of reporting and how the data is being reported by your vendors. Some report on a quarterly or even yearly basis which does not help in building your profile in a timely manner.

As far as your payment data it’s vital that the actual vendor credit limits that your company is approved for displays on your file not just the amount owed. Some vendors will not report this information and it can have a dramatic impact on how lenders view your company’s creditworthiness plus it affects the size of the credit limit recommendations that business credit bureaus list on your file.

I know this can seem confusing and time intensive but there are ways to streamline this whole process taking all the guesswork and frustration out of the equation. By taking advantage of all the tools and resources available you can improve your company’s ability to qualify for the business financing it needs.

Are You Getting Instant Business Credit?

November 17, 2009 By Marco Carbajo

DollarIf you’re at the beginning stage of applying for business credit for your company than you have probably seen the numerous articles, books, and posts explaining the importance of first starting with vendor credit also known as trade credit.

 

However, one of the biggest mistakes made by small business owners during this stage is applying for the wrong vendor accounts that grant instant business credit.

 

While some may have a tendency to believe that the more the merrier is a sound strategy I tend to totally disagree. The reason is simply getting approved for vendor credit is one thing but what really matters is three critical factors that seem to never get mentioned which are:

 

Reporting

Frequency

High Credit

 

Reporting

There are over 500,000 vendors extending credit to businesses, but less than 6,000 of them report to the business credit bureaus! So part of any sound business credit building strategy should include careful selection of vendors that report to the business credit bureaus. It’s also important to note which business credit bureau they report to.

 

Frequency

In addition you will need to select vendors that not only report to the business credit bureaus but also report on a monthly basis.
Why is reporting on a monthly basis so important?

The reason is there are vendors who do report your payment history but only on a quarterly or even yearly basis. Time is of the essence so if your payment experience is not reporting until months later this can drastically impact the speed in which you plan to build a strong business credit file.

An example of an instant business credit vendor that reports on a monthly basis is a company like Quill.

Quill sells office supplies, cleaning supplies, packing and shipping supplies, school supplies, printing supplies, and more. From filing and storage to hand held computers, Quill has a wide range of discounted top name brand products.

Quill offers a net 30 account and reports to Dun and Bradstreet. Best of all they report your payment history every 30 days. For small orders you can get approved with a listing on the 411 directories and have a working website. New businesses can start out with smaller limits that will increase when you pay on time every month.

 

High Credit

Unfortunately there are vendors who report the balance owing as your high credit limit on your business credit file and not the true credit limit your business has been approved for.

For example, let’s say you’re approved for a $2,000 credit line with a vendor and you purchase an order of $50.

The incorrect reporting by this vendor shows:

High Credit ($) 50

Now Owes ($) 50

 

The correct reporting by the vendor should reflect:

High Credit ($) 2,000

Now Owes ($) 50

 

It’s always best to select vendors that report the true high credit limit that your business has been approved for and not just the balance owing.

 

This factor alone can impact the credit limit recommendation suggested for your business which is provided by the business credit bureaus in your profile report.

 

While you can obtain instant business credit for your business the process of building a strong business credit profile and score does take careful planning and a sound strategy. By revealing these three critical factors I hope to make the process easier and more effective for you.

 

As long as you select vendors that report, select vendors that report timely and select vendors that report true high credit limits than you are well on your way to business credit success!

 

To Your Success!
