ADVICE

Building Credit Early

  • Add your children as authorized users to your credit cards at age 16.
  • This gives them two years of credit history, enabling them to qualify for their own cards and loans at 18.
INSIGHT

Business vs. Personal Credit

  • Business credit uses a Tax ID, while personal credit relies on a Social Security number.
  • Using a personal guarantee for business cards like Amex blends both, impacting your personal credit if you default.
ADVICE

D&B Number Importance

  • Obtain a Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) number; it's free and essential for business credit.
  • It helps you secure business loans, net 30 accounts and eventually establish true business credit separate from personal credit.
