What to Do When You Can’t Find Your Business Listing…

If you can’t find your listing, it’s likely that you do not have one yet. This is because no one is reporting to Experian Business on your business payment history. Fortunately, your Experian Business profile will be created when you have credit reports from your very first payment. Access to these national accounts will cause your Experian profile to open with the first reported cycle, which is about 30 days. This is an important resource for building business credit, largely because it receives most reports from banks, leasing companies, credit card accounts, and vendors. This gives a higher respectability to the Experian Business score.
