Some good questions from a reader.
“I have been using your credit blog to learn how to get business credit. I have a few questions for you.
Whats the best way to get listed in 411 ? I used listyourself.net and its been 4 days so im thinking that site does not work?”
I USED LISTYOURSELF.NET BEFORE AND IT WORKS. IT TAKES UP TO 2 WEEKS IN MY EXPERIENCE BUT THE BEST WAY I HAVE SEEN IS THROUGH A PHONE PROVIDER. THE CHEAPEST WAY THROUGH A PROVIDER IS TO USE A REMOTE CALL FORWARDING NUMBER. IT $15-$20 PER MONTH DEPENDING ON THE PROVIDER.
“Im thinking my EIN might have a bad credit file from a phonebook ad I did not pay in full. Will that effect my business credit?”
IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE BAD CREDIT THIS WILL AFFECT THE CREDIT BUILDING PROCESS. YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCESS YOUR DNB FILE TO SEE IF THEY REPORTED. IT CAN ALSO REPORT TO YOUR EXPERIEN SO CHECK BOTH. DNB ONLY LOOKS AT THE PASSED YEAR SO DEPENDING ON HOW OLD THE ACCOUNT IS YOU MAY HAVE LUCKED OUT.
“Most companies go by your DNB file correct?”
MOST VENDORS SEEM TO USE DNB BUT MANY COMPANIES USED EXPERIEN BUSINESS AS WELL.
