[26]
icon so that you get notified in our future video releases now if you have
[30]
terrible personal credit and you're wanting to get into real estate
[33]
investing there is a way around it other than just owner financing there is a
[37]
concept called business credit which is entirely separate from your personal
[41]
credit and a lot of people don't know about business credit because it's not
[45]
mainstream yet it is fairly new and there's not a whole lot of conversation
[50]
that takes place about business credit so in this video I'm gonna show you guys
[53]
how to establish business credit the most fast way possible so that you can
[57]
start getting business credit cards business loans without even using
[61]
personal guarantee now what's really nice about business credit like I said
[65]
is it's separate from your personal credit so what you do on your business
[68]
credit side won't affect you on the personal credit side whatever you do on
[72]
the personal credit side doesn't necessarily affect your business credit
[75]
side so you can keep those two credit profile differently and I'm gonna show
[80]
you guys how to do that now when it comes to your personal credit you got
[82]
five big factors that affects your personal credit score specifically your
[86]
FICO score the first one being your payment history are you paying on time
[91]
your utilization how much of your credit are you using new credit credit mix as
[97]
well as your overall age of your credit so those are the big five factors that
[101]
drive your personal credit now when it comes to business credit the main big
[106]
factor is are you paying on time okay so a lot of people think well I don't want
[110]
to max out my business credit card it's gonna hurt my business card well not
[114]
necessarily what will hurt your business credit is not paying on time and late on
[118]
your payments so what's separate what's different with your business credit is
[122]
you don't have necessarily those big five what really matters in your
[127]
business credit side is are you paying on time
[131]
now of course to take advantage of getting a business credit is that you
[134]
have to have a legitimate business you can't just you know have a fake business
[137]
and build a fake business credit you know it doesn't work that way so you
[141]
gotta have a real business whether you have a landscaping business a internet
[146]
marketing business roasted investment business it has to be a business that
[150]
you actually have and you're actually running and you're actually making money
[153]
from it the next thing you're gonna have to have when building a business credit
[155]
is have a business website a business phone number and an optional of fast
[160]
number now when it comes to your business website it has to reflect
[163]
exactly what you do so if you own a landscaping business you got obviously
[167]
this website has to be about landscaping if you own an internet marketing
[171]
business you have to highlight the fact that you do have an internet marketing
[174]
business on your website now as far as your phone number you can have a
[178]
separate phone number such as a Google Voice number or a sideline number or if
[182]
you have a legitimate office number make sure you have a separate phone number
[186]
that is not your personal cell phone number now this is an optional and it
[190]
does help is having a fax number and this is optional but it does help and it
[196]
gives you an extra credibility point knowing that you actually have a
[200]
legitimate fast number for your business now quick note on the phone number is
[204]
that you do have to register the phone number with four one one so once you
[208]
establish your business phone and phone line that is separate from your personal
[211]
phone line be sure you go to four one one and register your phone number and
[215]
your company name so that it'll be on the public directory so you got your
[219]
phone number your website and your FAFSA Murr established the next step to do is
[223]
get a Duns number at dun and bradstreet number Donna Bradstreet is a company
[227]
it's an organization that reports your business credit to the other creditors
[230]
it's very similar to Equifax Experian and TransUnion except dun and Bradstreet
[235]
specifically focuses on business so you need to get a Duns number which is kind
[240]
of like a social security number that's unique to your business and getting this
[243]
number is absolutely free although you could be misled to pay for an expedited
[249]
service or other third-party services that you need to pay for you do not need
[253]
to pay for it done Duns numbers are free you can get it for free it takes about
[257]
two to three weeks to establish and get a number deliver to you by email so make
[263]
sure you get the number not skip this step it's very important
[266]
that you have a Duns number before we move to the next step
[269]
so once you have a Duns number your EIN your website phone over all established
[273]
and ready to go the next thing you're gonna want to do is start establishing
[276]
the net 30 accounts now net 30 is simply a concept where you purchase something
[282]
and you pay back for that purchase within 30 days so let's say you went and
[286]
bought a bunch of paper from a company and if they give you a net 30 account
[292]
you have 30 days to pay for those papers otherwise you'll be late and of course
[297]
you're gonna go and attempt to collect from yes so what you're gonna want to do
[299]
is start establishing these accounts and you want at least three to five of these
[303]
accounts being reported on your dun & bradstreet credit report and you want to
[308]
have at least three months of reporting to see a paid X score of 80 so we'll pay
[313]
that score is your business credit score and it is specific to dun & bradstreet
[317]
so you want to have at least 80 in your paid X score and to establish that you
[322]
gotta have at least three months of payment history with your three to five
[326]
net 30 accounts now with the net 30 count so you can get those through
[331]
different companies such as Uline quill there are other companies that will
[335]
offer in that 30 now when you go and shop around for these net 30 counts and
[339]
when you go in and research creditors be sure you call them ask him hey do you
[345]
report your net 30 accounts and payment to dun & bradstreet now if they don't
[349]
report there's no point of establish that net 30 account so work with a
[354]
merchant /a a store or retail store that does report your net 30 into dun &
[361]
bradstreet so that you guys will get that pay that score up and going now
[365]
once you have your paid a score of 80 or higher you can start going after the
[370]
bigger fish in terms of merchants and vendors and creditors so you can start
[375]
going after gas cards certain retail stores certain national chain that you
[381]
can go after to get store specific cards so what I did is I wouldn't establish
[386]
three to five net 30 counts and then what I remember is I went and got a
[391]
credit card from different gas stations that are local to me and they do report
[397]
to you know different credit bureaus
[399]
especially dun & bradstreet and then after I started establishing credit with
[403]
the gas cards and gas store gas station specific cards then I started getting
[408]
store specific cards from Staples Lowe's places like Office Depot office max and
[416]
once I have those established again there's there's a pattern to this you're
[421]
gonna want them reporting for at least three months okay and then you're gonna
[426]
escalate to the more the bigger and mainstream change such as Best Buy
[431]
Walmart some of the more bigger chains that you can tackle on all the way to
[435]
the point if you continue this trend and established business credit you know one
[440]
foot on top of the other you're gonna find yourself to be able to qualify for
[444]
bigger business credit cards with you know banks you're gonna be able to get
[448]
business not a credit even auto loans that don't require personal guarantee
[453]
from you so once you have your business credit established this way you can
[457]
start tackling and bigger credit cards pickle alone higher living credit cards
[460]
this is the benefit this is the power of establishing business credit a lot of
[466]
times if you do it the right way you can get away establishing business credit
[469]
and accounts without your personal guarantee or without using your personal
[473]
credit now I'm gonna give you guys a brief list of what not to do when
[477]
building business credit the first thing is do not rush the process don't go off
[481]
and skip steps don't go after the big credit card companies right off the bat
[484]
follow those steps right get your net 30 accounts have it established have your
[489]
paid F score of 80 in an Escalade you know step by step don't go and skip all
[495]
the way to the end because once you messed it up there's no read to you
[497]
there's no restart there's no quote-unquote respawn back to step 1 you
[502]
can't fix your mistake so be sure to follow the steps don't rush the process
[506]
because once you do there's no do-over so be sure to follow steps now the
[511]
another thing you should not be doing is buying shelf corporation which I believe
[514]
to be is legal and fraudulent you should not be doing it now what shelf
[517]
corporations are it's basically people getting corporations and doing nothing
[521]
with it waiting couple years into the corporation ages and then start building
[525]
business on top of it or selling it to another
[528]
individual for them to build business credit now obviously this is fraudulent
[531]
this is legal and the reason why people do this is to show that the company
[536]
their business the corporation has been around for a longer period of time and
[539]
really you know it hasn't been it's not been active it's been dormant it hasn't
[545]
been doing anything obviously this will be lying to the creditors as well as the
[549]
banks and lenders so you should not be doing this you should be starting your
[552]
business credit organically the right way a legal way ethically and you don't
[558]
want it again don't rush the process don't try to take shortcuts this is not
[561]
the best way to do it so don't go off and buy a shelf corporation I think it's
[566]
terrible and I think it's straight-up illegal so you should not be doing it
[569]
now along the process if you sense anything that's shady or if you get any
[573]
other advice that tells you hey you should be doing this and in your gut
[576]
feeling it feels weird it's not ethical it's not you know it doesn't sound legal
[580]
then chances are it's not now of course you do want to do your research and you
[583]
want to make sure you understand the law and the process but if it sounds shady
[587]
to you and if you're feeling you're taking shortcut the wrong way or an
[590]
unethical way then don't do it take the pause that you need and
[593]
research what's going on before you make the decision to move forward or to not
[598]
move forward so don't rush a process don't buy shelf corporations if it
[602]
sounds shady chances are it is so to give you a recap and a summary of how to
[607]
build your business credit the first step is get your EIN your employer
[611]
identification number next establish your separate business phone line your
[616]
website as well as an optional fast number get your Duns number establish
[620]
wait two to three weeks to get your free Duns number get your net 30 accounts
[624]
established for three months of payment history and start escalating into bigger
[628]
retail stores and creditors to the point where you can now attack all the biggest
[632]
