FAQ
What is Corporate Credit?
Corporate Credit would be described as lines of credit given by various financial institutions to business entities. The most common forms of Corporate Credit are:• Corporate Credit Cards (American Express, Chase)
• Vendor Credit Cards (Home Depot, Staples, Dell)
• Bank Lines of Credit (Bank of America, Wells Fargo)
• Subsidized or Collateralized Lines (SBA Loans, Mortgage Loans)
Corporate Credit is typically established by slowly growing your company’s credit score either on the Dunn and Bradstreet index, Experian Smart Business, Equifax Small Business or through the Paydex credit bureau. Properly using, maintaining and repeatedly paying off your existing lines of credit will result in your financial institutions positively reporting to these independent bureaus. As your credit score grows, your credit worthiness increases and you can successively obtain larger lines of credit.
