How Do I Get My Business's Credit Report?

Review your business credit report.

Establishing a credit report is essential for any business to acquire credit cards and financing. A business credit report is similar to your personal credit report, in that you must monitor the activity to make certain the information is accurate and up-to-date. There is a fee to obtain your business credit report; the average cost is from $29.95 upward, depending on the credit bureau you have selected.

Instructions

1. Visit a website for a company that maintains a database for business credit reports. There are several that collect and store the credit history of a business (see Resources).

2. Click the “Business” link and select the option to get your business credit report.

3. Type in your business name and the location. Select “Search.” You will see the search results for your business name or similar.

4. Locate your business name and click “Select.” Choose the type of credit report you would like to purchase. The options are usually a standard summary of your creditor information and history or the yearly subscription.

5. Select “Add to Cart” and complete the checkout process. You may need to add your name, e-mail address and credit card information. Afterward you will be able to instantly view your business credit profile.
