You filed the paperwork. You got the EIN. You opened the business account.
But here's the question most new business owners never ask:
Does your LLC have its own credit profile?
If the answer is no β your business isn't truly fundable yet. And every time you apply for financing, you're putting YOUR personal credit on the line instead of your business.
Here's the difference:
Personal Credit: β Average limits of $5Kβ$20K β Every application hits your personal score β Business struggles damage YOUR credit β Borrowing power capped by your personal income
Business Credit: β
Limits of $25Kβ$100K+ per card β
Activity stays on the business profile β
Personal score stays protected β
Scales with your business β not with you personally
The 5 things your LLC needs to start building its own profile:
β
EIN (Employer Identification Number) β
DUNS Number (free via Dun & Bradstreet) β
Dedicated business address and phone number β
Business checking account β
3+ net-30 vendor accounts reporting to business bureaus
That's the foundation. Once those are in place, business credit cards, lines of credit, and funding stacks become accessible β on your BUSINESS, not on you personally.
This is step one of the FundFlow Methodβ’ and it's exactly what we walk through on our weekly calls.
