FAQs

Are there any secured business credit cards that report to D&B?

Yes. Some secured business credit cards, including Tilful described above report to D&B and other major business credit reporting bureaus, but it is more common for unsecured business credit card to report to the business credit agencies. 

Are there other business credit reporting agencies?

Yes. While Dun & Bradstreet is the most commonly used credit reporting agency, there are several others that many companies use, including Experian and Equifax. Equifax and Experian may sound familiar, since they’re also big players in the consumer credit ratings space.

Each of the agencies has a unique, proprietary scoring model that they use to evaluate the credit worthiness of companies. However, in general, all models look at the amount of available credit you’re using (lower is better), the number and type of credit accounts you have, your history of on-time payments, and other publicly available information about your company.

FICO, the most used consumer credit-scoring agency also has a small business credit scoring division. In addition, the Small Business Finance Exchange is a credit information repository used by some banks and lenders. 

What companies report to Experian business credit?

Ramp reports to Experian business credit. Other card issuers that report to Experian business credit include Brex, Tilfull, and Corpay One. If you’re not sure whether a business credit card reports to the Experian or any other business credit bureau, ask the issuer.

A D&B report is one of several reports that business lenders may look at to determine your credit worthiness when you apply for a loan or line of credit. The report includes basic data about your company (such as when it launched, its size, and the industry in which it operates), as well as information about your existing credit, credit history, recent credit applications, and whether you have had bankruptcies or liens against your company in the past. 

Your business credit report is different than your business credit score, which is a numerical rating of your business’ creditworthiness. Dun & Branstreet’s PAYDEX credit score ranges from 0-100, based on your company’s transactions over the last two years. That’s different than personal credit scores, which typically range from 300 to 850, but in both cases a higher score signifies a better rating. In general, it’s easier to build and improve business credit than personal credit.

Just as it’s important to regularly check your personal credit, you should get into the habit of periodically looking at your business credit to make sure the report doesn’t have any mistakes.

Dun & Bradstreet also offers several paid products to businesses who want to see their D&B report. After a 14-day free trial, you can pay $15 per month to see up to five scores and rating or $39 per month for unlimited access to your company’s scores and ratings. It might be worth paying for one of the higher levels of service if you’re planning to take out a big loan or seek funding from investors, since it will let you know if there are areas in your credit history that you may need to work on. 

What is the difference between business credit agencies and personal credit agencies?

Dun & Bradstreet, the most commonly used business credit agency, does not rate consumers as individuals. Its two biggest competitors, Equifax and Experian, do have divisions dedicated to personal credit rating. 

In general, the process of rating individuals and businesses for creditworthiness is similar in that both look at your credit-utilization ratio (the amount of available credit you’re using), your payment history, the number and types of accounts you have, and how frequently your apply for credit or other types of debt. Consumer credit rating, however, typically goes back up to seven years, while business credit rating focuses more on the largest, most recent debts (going back about two years).
