Why This Matters

Your business credit profile determines:

Loan approval rates and terms

Vendor payment terms (net-30, net-60)

Insurance premiums

Partnership opportunities

Key Steps

Open vendor accounts — Start with easy-approval vendors

Pay early — Paying before terms boosts your Paydex score

Monitor regularly — Check D&B, Experian Business, and Equifax Business
