First let me say that I DO NOT want to know how or pay you to obtain business credit without a personal guarantee!

I own a small business and I am incorporated, with an EIN and seperate business bank account. I am interested in possibly obtaining a business credit card, or a business line of credit. I was looking at some different banks/card and I notice the majority would like a personal guarantee. I have no problem with that, I just would like to know how it will affect my personal credit. Does the business credit card/line of credit show up on my personal credit report? Is there a hard inquiry when applying and/or giving my personal guarantee? If I apply for a business credit card/line of credit with a bank/credit card company that I currently have a personal credit card through does the business card affect that personal card? Any information would be great. Seems like all the info out there is about getting business credit without a personal guarantee, and paying for that info. Thanks!

I have a business credit card that I use for personal expenses. I am going to discontinue doing this at the advise of my credit card company (Chase). However, I recently decided to increase my credit line from ,500 to ,000 for no reason really. They declined it and sent me a letter stating that they received their information from Experian. The letter’s tone is negative overall.

Will their declining of my credit line increase request negatively affect my credit score? Keep in mind that it is a business card.

Thanks.

I am about to start my own LLC and need a small line of credit. Instead of trying to get a business loan, I was thinking of a small business credit card. I only need about 00.00. Does anyone know how long a company needs to be in business to qualify for a decent small business credit card?

I have a business credit card with a high credit limit, but this account does not show up on credit reports from all three crediting agencies. I asked the card issuer why this is, and they tell me that it will only show up if i have negative history (late payments, bankruptcy) but it does not show my on time payments or any sign i even have this available credit line in my name. I am trying to build good credit history, but this doesn’t even add into the evaluation of it, and it is the best thing i have going right now. Any one know why this is?

how can one make credit line for business credit card go through the roof?

Also, how long does it take to approve a business credit card and a short-term business loan? I know what the terms are and what you need to bring in with your application…I'm just not sure how long the process takes. Any advice will help. Thanks!
