Does anybody know where to get a secured business credit card? I don't want a personal secured card, just a business secured card.

You should start with your bank,where hopefully you may consider doing a secured loan as well to get you business credit up to par. Also starting out you want to secure you net 30 vendor accounts, such as

Strategic Network Solutions here's a promo code I got from my last purchase= snsgb

You also got Bitwave Design customer code: 213

What I found so great  about these companies,is that they're lendable to any business take Strategic Network Solutions, they can handle All you software and/or hardware needs. Bitwave Design,deals primarily with web design.

So ordering from these companies will immediatly build up your credit file,so you can get unsecured lines of credit.

I agree that your bank is a good place to start.

You can also get assistance developing Business Credit via FundingUniverse.com  Just let them know you're interested in the Business Credit option.

Good luck!

Hi! I'm new here..hope for the good conversation..

Also, be sure you have a company bank account (DBA, LLC, or corporate). You may need to start with opening accounts with Staples, Office Depot, gas card etc to establish credit in business name.

It also helps if you get an unsecured loan from another bank and pay it off quickly.  Just open another company bank account. Deposit $500-$1,000 or so. Get a secured loan against the deposit. Pay it off quickly. Then go to another bank and do it again. It will show up in your company credit profile.

Good Luck!

Most us do use credit cards, while some of us use the credit card for personal expenses many others make office bill payments, office stationary payment etc and in that case a business credit card would have certain benefits for the credit card holder.

You usually start with the bank to gain some business credit.

Well yes and no, things have become so different even as of my last posting, i have learne A LOT about Business Credit, and you need to get a duns number from dnb

and then you need to get a paydex score. But, when getting a duns number from dunn and bradstreet, you need to be careful not to get your file "flagged" by them.

Which in essence means they will actually slow down your orders "tradelines" from showing up on your credit file! How mean is that. However one person will give you detailed information for free on how to get up to speed.

Other than that,once you know how to use the bank to your advantage, you should make sure you got your foundation in order first. As far as DnB, they are not a real credit bureau in the traditional sense,

Now Experian Smart Business is, and you can actually order from companies like http://www.tradesmartproducts.com that report to them very fast, and are great for startups and established business alike.. Hope This Helps

Just want to let everyone know who's building their business credit that http://www.hollyspringswater.com also reports to Experian Smart business report along with http://www.sharedaluv.com  Net 30 terms for new and old business

Hope this Helps!
