What a business tradeline is

A credit account on your company's commercial file

Each tradeline shows the creditor, the limit or high balance, the current balance, the terms and the payment history. The more tradelines with positive payment history, the stronger the commercial credit profile that lenders, suppliers and partners check.

  • Revolving and installment tradelines, both reported
  • Reported monthly in Metro 2 to all three business bureaus
  • Separates the business's credit identity from the owner's personal credit
  • First tradeline typically visible within 45 to 60 days

Why it matters

Stronger scores, better terms

Better financing

Lower interest on business loans and higher limits from suppliers follow consistent on-time payment history across multiple tradelines.

Credit without a personal guarantee

Once at least three tradelines are reporting, a business can qualify for a PAYDEX score and start appearing in the databases lenders check.

New businesses included

Tradelines break the no-history cycle. We work with newly formed entities and established companies that want to strengthen their profiles.

How it works

From agreement to reported history

1

Facility origination

We establish the business credit facility and the credit agreement that governs it.

2

DUNS and setup

D&B needs a DUNS number before any tradeline can post. We help initiate one if the business has none.

3

Monthly reporting

After the first payment cycle, the account is reported in Metro 2 during each bureau's window.

4

Account maintenance

Ongoing management, out-of-cycle updates and dispute handling keep the history accurate.
