Build Business Credit on Your Own

Most business owners want to build their credit the right way, which means they often turn to credit building services for expert advice. These services can cost upwards of $500. The good news is that you can build great business credit on your own, without any help from costly intermediaries and third parties -- if you have the time and determination.  

On the surface, establishing business credit can seem more complex than it really is. In fact, business credit is much easier to comprehend than personal credit. And by doing it yourself, rather than delegating the job to a third-party, you have the opportunity to develop all-important personal relationships with businesses and banks, which will serve you well as your business grows. That said, it will take time -- as much as a year or a year and half and often require weekly, if not daily, attention.
