Why build business credit for your company?
SBA loans are the ‘gold standard’ of small business loans. With an SBA loan your company can obtain operating funds with favorable rates and long repayment terms of up to 25 years, minimizing required monthly payments and maximizing your financial flexibility.
The SBA requires a FICO SBSS credit score for every SBA loan approval. If you ever want to get approved for an SBA loan, you’ll need a FICO SBSS credit score for your company of at least 155, but most likely 160 to 180+. FICO SBSS scores range from 0 to 300.
A FICO SBSS score has three main components:
1. Your personal credit profile
2. Your company’s business credit profile
3. Current financial metrics and history for your company
If you don’t have a business credit profile, your company’s FICO SBSS score will be lower because it will be calculated using ONLY on your personal credit and your company’s financials.
By establishing and building a strong business credit profile for your company, you will increase your FICO SBSS score and your chances to be approved for a SBA loan.
If you need help with your personal credit, CreditStrong Revolv can instantly improve your credit utilization and MAGNUM can maximize your amount of credit and payment history – used together they can rapidly increase your personal credit score.

Get Started
CS Business is the easy and reliable way to establish and build a large financial tradeline for your company
There are two types of business credit. It is likely that your company needs both:
1. Financial tradelines
2. Vendor tradelines
Financial tradelines are extensions of credit from a bank or financing company. For example, a loan or line of credit.
Vendor tradelines are extensions of credit from a merchant or supplier. For example, 2/10 or net 30 terms or paying an invoice.
It’s critical to keep your business credit separate from your personal credit
Some business lenders require a personal credit score, some require a business credit score, and some require both.
Build business credit for your company with its EIN for any of the following entity types:
- LLC
- S-Corp
- C-Corp
- General partnership
If you are a Sole Proprietor, you can build a large amount of personal credit for business purposes with MAGNUM from CreditStrong.
Build from $2,000 up to $30,000 of personal credit starting at just $30/mo.
