Часто задаваемые вопросы
Что такое business credit и зачем тракеру?
Business credit = credit profile separately от personal — based on EIN не SSN. Built через D&B PAYDEX score (0-100), Experian Intelliscore (0-100), Equifax Business (101-992 scale). Зачем тракеру: 1) EIN-only loans без personal guarantee (protect personal assets); 2) Higher credit limits ($50K-$500K vs personal $25K-$50K); 3) Equipment financing better terms (3-7% trucking equipment vs personal 12-25%); 4) Vendor net-30 terms (fuel cards без upfront cash); 5) Personal asset protection при business bankruptcy.
Как build business credit за 12 months?
Step-by-step workflow: Month 1 — Get EIN, register с D&B (free DUNS number), open business bank account, get business credit card (Chase Ink Business). Month 2-3 — Apply 2-3 vendor accounts с net-30 terms (Uline, Quill, Grainger). Pay before due date. Month 4-6 — Apply for trade credit с fuel card vendors (RTS, Comdata) — these report к D&B. Month 7-9 — Apply for first SBA loan или equipment financing. Month 10-12 — Should achieve PAYDEX 80+, Experian 76+, Equifax 90+.

PAYDEX score — что это и как улучшить?
PAYDEX = Dun & Bradstreet payment performance score 0-100 (similar к FICO). 80 = paying on terms; 100 = paying 30+ days early. To improve: 1) Pay ALL invoices BEFORE due date (early payment = 100 score); 2) Avoid late payments at ALL costs (1 late drops score 10-20 points); 3) Build trade lines с D&B-reporting vendors (most vendors don't report, ask explicitly); 4) Don't exceed 30% credit utilization on business cards. Achievement timeline: 80+ PAYDEX в 6-12 months с disciplined payments.
Vendor accounts которые report к D&B?
Top D&B-reporting vendors: 1) Uline (packing/shipping supplies) — net-30 standard; 2) Quill Office Supplies — net-30; 3) Grainger (industrial supplies) — net-30, application based; 4) Strategic Network Solutions — IT services net-30; 5) Crown Office Supplies — net-30; 6) Summa Office Supplies — net-30; 7) Newegg Business — net-30 для tech purchases. Trucking-specific: RTS Pro Card, Comdata, FleetOne — all report к D&B и Experian Business. Goal: 5+ active trade lines for strong profile.
Equipment financing vs personal loan?
Equipment financing для truck purchase: 1) Through equipment dealer (Freightliner, Volvo) — 5-9% APR, requires 10-25% down, EIN-based often; 2) Specialty trucking lenders (Hino Capital, PACCAR Financial, Daimler Truck Financial) — 4-7% APR best rates для good business credit; 3) SBA 7(a) loans — 11-13% APR, 6-12 weeks approval, paperwork heavy. Personal loan для truck = 12-25% APR, max $50K-$100K, personal credit risk. Equipment financing always preferred если business credit allows.
Как get $100K+ business line of credit?
Workflow для $100K+ LOC: 1) Operate 12+ months с solid revenue ($300K+ annual recommended); 2) Build PAYDEX 80+, Experian Business 76+; 3) Maintain $50K+ average business bank account balance; 4) No major personal credit issues (FICO 700+ helps even для EIN-based loan); 5) Apply through Chase, Wells Fargo, или US Bank business banking; 6) Provide: 2 years tax returns, P&L, balance sheet, AR aging report. Approval timeline 2-6 weeks. Rates 7-12% APR typical.

Common business credit mistakes для trackers?
Top mistakes: 1) Use personal credit для business expenses (mixing accounts hurts business credit building); 2) Не register с D&B (without DUNS number, no business credit profile exists); 3) Use sole proprietor entity (LLC/Corp required для real business credit); 4) Late payments кардинально drop score (one 30-day late = 10-15 point drop в FICO terms); 5) Apply too many cards quickly (hard inquiries hurt); 6) Не renew vendor accounts (account closures hurt thin file).
