Final Thoughts

Time to put that business credit knowledge into action. Start by checking your business structure—if you’re still a sole proprietor, consider forming an LLC or corporation. Next, apply for your EIN (it’s free!) and get a DUNS number to start building your business credit profile. Then, reach out to vendors or service providers you already use and see if they offer credit terms. Keep it consistent, keep it clean, and treat your credit like your business reputation—because that’s exactly what it is.
