Fund My Brand reviews your business first, then you pay up front and send your details.

3

Tradelines post within 60 business days. Pull your Experian Business and SBFE-powered reports to see them.

Free fundability review

Every business is reviewed first, free.

Before you pay, Fund My Brand LLC checks that your business is ready for tradelines to post and for lenders to take it seriously.

What we check

  • Active and current with your Secretary of State, with filings up to date
  • A real business address, not a P.O. box or mail drop
  • A business phone number, ideally toll-free
  • A business website and a domain email address
  • A privacy policy and terms on your website
  • Business listings on Google, 411, Yelp and others

Missing something?

  • Do it yourself: the review tells you exactly what to fix.
  • Or have it done for you. Fund My Brand LLC sets up what's missing for a flat fee, quoted in writing before you pay.
  • Either way, you won't pay for tradelines that can't post.

Ask about auto leases

Before you buy

  • Your company must be active with your Secretary of State.

  • Tradelines over $50K need a business at least 1 year old. Companies 3 to 12 months old can get one $25K tradeline per bureau.
  • Companies under 2 years old won't post with a balance below 50% of the limit.
  • Payment is due up front by Zelle, Cash App, ACH or wire (+$25 wire fee). Equifax business tradelines aren't available.

Know the difference

Personal AU tradelines vs. business tradelines.

They solve different problems. Authorized-user tradelines touch your personal score; business tradelines build your company's own credit file.

Personal AU tradelines
Business tradelines (Experian + SBFE)
What it is
A spot as an authorized user on someone else's credit card.
A tradeline reported on your business's own credit file, including auto leases.
Where it reports
Equifax, Experian and TransUnion personal credit files.
Experian Business and SBFE. Equifax Business isn't available.
What it affects
Your personal FICO score: utilization, account age and payment history.
Your business credit profile: creditworthiness, limits and fundability. Not your personal score.
How fast it shows
In the card's reporting window, usually 2 to 4 weeks after you order. It has to be ordered before the card's cutoff date.
Within 60 business days of payment, about 9 to 12 weeks.
How long it lasts
Two statement cycles, about 2 months, then you're removed.
At least 9 months on file, with up to 5 years of history depending on your company's age.
Who controls it
The card issuer and the primary cardholder.
The provider's reporting schedule.
What you need
Identity and address details that match your credit file.
A company active with your Secretary of State and a real business, home or virtual office address. No P.O. boxes or mail drops.
How lenders see it
Adds age and limits to your personal file, but lenders prefer primary accounts. Manual mortgage underwriting and newer scoring models can discount authorized-user accounts.
Adds high-limit, comparable credit that lenders look at when sizing business funding.
Typical cost
Roughly $400 to $2,500 per card, depending on card age and limit.
$1,450 to $15,000, depending on size and whether it's a single trade or a package.
Auto lease option
Not available.
SBFE auto lease tradelines up to $400K.

This page is for business tradelines. Personal authorized-user tradelines are a different product, sold and placed by Conway Connects LLC. See personal tradelines for the live card list.

Questions

Before you choose.

Will tradelines guarantee funding or a certain score?+

No. Tradelines add reported account history to your business credit files. Lenders make their own decisions, and they weigh tradelines alongside your revenue, time in business, personal credit and more.

Where are business tradelines reported?+

Experian Business and SBFE-sourced commercial reporting. SBFE is a business credit data exchange, not a consumer credit bureau. SBFE data also appears on SBFE-certified reports such as LexisNexis. Equifax business tradelines are not available.

How long until they show up?+

Within 60 business days of payment. The sample reports show what a posted tradeline looks like.

My business is new. Can I still buy?+

Your company must be at least 3 months old. Until it's 1 year old, you can receive one $25K tradeline per bureau; tradelines over $50K need a business at least 1 year old. Companies under 2 years old won't post with a balance below 50% of the limit.

How long do they stay on my file?+

At least 9 months. Each tradeline carries from 4 months to 5 years of history, depending on your company's age.

How do I get proof they posted?+

Fund My Brand provides an SBFE online printout as proof of posting. You can also request your yearly SBFE-powered report from LexisNexis for free.

How do I check my reports?+

Nav offers business credit monitoring (about $49.95 a month). For Experian, smartbusinessposts.com sells a single Experian Business report (about $49.95), or Experian Business Credit Advantage monitoring (about $189 a year) shows every trade. Prices are set by those companies.

How do I pay?+

Payment is due up front by Zelle, Cash App, ACH or wire transfer. Wire transfers add a $25 fee.

What if my business doesn't pass the review?+

Nothing is charged for tradelines until your business is ready. You can fix the gaps yourself with the free Business Fundability Checklist, or Fund My Brand LLC can set them up for a flat fee, quoted in writing before you pay.

Who provides the tradelines?+

Fund My Brand LLC sells, places and services every tradeline directly.

Do you offer personal credit tradelines?+

Not on this page. Personal authorized-user tradelines are a separate product, sold and placed by Conway Connects LLC. See the comparison above for how they differ.
