Credit Repair + Business Credit Building

Better Credit. Better Funding. Better Terms.

Bad credit shouldn't be a dead end. We help business owners repair damaged credit, remove inaccurate items, and build a strong business credit profile — so you qualify for the funding you actually need.

Credit Repair vs. Credit Building

These are two different things — and most businesses need both. Here's what each one does.

Credit Repair

For business owners with negative items dragging down their score. We dispute inaccurate, unverifiable, or outdated items across all three bureaus on your behalf.

  • ✓
    Dispute inaccurate late payments & collections
  • ✓
    Challenge incorrect charge-offs & judgments
  • ✓
    Remove outdated negative items (7–10 year rule)
  • ✓
    Negotiate pay-for-delete agreements with creditors
  • ✓
    Correct identity errors and mixed files
  • ✓
    Monitor all 3 bureaus throughout the process

Business Credit Building

Build a separate business credit profile that doesn't rely on your personal score. Get your business fundable on its own merits with trade lines and vendor credit.

  • ✓
    Establish DUNS number & business credit files
  • ✓
    Set up Paydex score with D&B (target 80+)
  • ✓
    Add Net-30 vendor tradelines (Uline, Quill, etc.)
  • ✓
    Secure starter business credit cards
  • ✓
    Build Experian Business & Equifax Business profiles
  • ✓
    Roadmap to $100K+ in business credit

What's Holding Your Score Back?

These are the most common credit problems we see — and fix — for business owners every day.

35%

Late Payment History

A single 30-day late payment can drop your score by 60–110 points. Inaccurate late payments are the #1 item we dispute and remove.

Highest Impact
30%

Credit Utilization

Using more than 30% of your available credit tanks your score. We create a paydown strategy and add tradelines to improve your ratio fast.

High Impact
15%

No Credit History

A business with no credit profile is invisible to lenders. We build your file from scratch using vendors, trade credit, and strategic accounts.

Medium Impact
15%

Collections & Charge-Offs

Old collections haunt your score for 7 years. We dispute, negotiate, and work to remove collections — especially inaccurate or unverifiable ones.

Medium Impact
10%

Too Many Hard Inquiries

Multiple loan applications in a short window signal desperation to lenders. We guide you on when and how to apply to minimize damage.

Lower Impact
5%

Errors & Mixed Files

Up to 34% of credit reports contain errors. Wrong account numbers, another person's debt — all disputable and often removable within 30 days.

Credit Repair Questions Answered

Most clients see meaningful improvement within 60–90 days. Quick wins (obvious errors, unverifiable items) can appear within 30 days. For comprehensive repair and building, plan on 4–6 months to reach funding-ready status. There are no overnight miracles — anyone promising instant results is lying to you.

We dispute items that are inaccurate, unverifiable, or reported in error — which covers more than most people realize. We also negotiate pay-for-delete agreements with creditors. Accurate, verifiable negative items are harder to remove, but we can help offset their impact with positive additions to your file.

Yes — but only if you've set it up correctly. Your business needs its own EIN, bank account, phone number, and address. Once properly established and linked to your D&B file, your Paydex score and business credit profile operate completely independently of your personal FICO. This is a game-changer for business owners.

Often yes. Revenue-based financing and MCAs can fund even with lower scores (500+). If you need capital now, we can match you with appropriate short-term options while your credit profile improves in parallel. The goal is to get you into better products at lower rates as your score climbs.

The consultation is free. Program pricing depends on the complexity of your situation — how many items need addressing, which bureaus, and whether you're doing personal repair, business building, or both. We'll give you a clear quote after the initial audit with no obligation to proceed.
