A P.O. Box is not a good address for establishing credit and building your credit scores. It’s highly recommended that you have a physical address, allowing you to establish a quality credit profile. Some lenders actually avoid businesses that use a reformatted address from locations that include UPS stores, Mail Boxes Etc, and Postal Annex. You don’t actually need a storefront or specific office, as you can run your business from various locations and have a qualifying business address.

Address-Only: With an address-only, you can receive mail and packages at your dedicated business address.

Virtual Office: This gives you a professional business address and dedicated contact points like phone numbers and fax numbers. You can also have receptionist services and use of fully-furnished offices and meeting rooms.

A Real Office: This is your own private office with all the benefits, including receptionist services, phone, fax, the internet, furnishings, and rooms for meetings and other business needs. Davinci Virtual Offices is a great choice for obtaining an office and getting all necessary office supplies.

If you have a store in a shopping center having nice colorful business signs not only will validate your physical presence but also attract new customers.

Give Your Business Proper Business Phone, Fax, and Directory Listings

For your business, you must have a phone listed with the 411 directory. Even if it’s virtual, be sure to give your business a fax number.

Fax, Phone, and 411 Listings

Throughout this section, we will work on many different points, including:

  1. – A dedicated phone number for your business
  2. – A fax number for your business
  3. – Submission of business phone number to the national 411 directory and other online directories
  4. – Verification that your phone number is properly listed in the right locations.

When it comes to lenders, vendors, and creditors, perception is vastly important. That’s why we recommend that every business has a business phone number that is listed in the 411 directory. Your business should also have a fax and, if appropriate, an “800” number, which makes your business look more established and professional. This will boost the perception of your business and its overall creditworthiness.
