Business Credit 101: Build Credit, Access Funding, and Grow Your Business

Business credit can help you qualify for better financing, strengthen your credibility, and give your business more room to grow. Unlike personal credit, business credit does not develop on its own. It requires the right structure, intentional action, and consistent financial habits

In this webinar, you’ll learn how business credit works, why it matters, and what it takes to build it over time. We’ll walk through the key steps to help you establish a strong credit foundation, build a credit history, and improve your ability to qualify for funding in the future.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understand the difference between a business credit profile and a business credit score
• Learn how business credit differs from personal credit and why both can matter
• Set up the right foundation to begin building business credit
• Use trade relationships and payment habits to strengthen your credit profile
• Manage credit utilization and understand how it impacts your score
• Monitor your business credit and prepare for lender evaluation with more confidence

This webinar is part of the National Small Business Week Learning Lab, happening May 6-7, 2026, featuring free educational content, mentor connections, and a community of entrepreneurs.
