Hello All!!
I've been lurking around for about three months now and I have started to build my own business and business credit. This is what I have accomplished so far, thanks to you guys!
Operating From home

Obtained duns number May 2012
Opened BofA Business account online May 2012. They asked me to fax over articles of incorporation
Started to list my business on 411, whitepages, yellow pages, super pages with my personal cell number (sprint)
May 15 2012 Quill ordered a printer and toner. Order was over 400.00 and at check out i asked to be invoiced. Got an email confirming that my order was shipping out.
June 12 checked d&b and saw retail-mail order 500.00
June 12 Faxed over application for grainger, requested 1,000... got 1000.
June 12 called sprint to see if they could transfer my personal account to a business account. Had to fax tax id ( irs form ss4),bank statement and my ID. and got an email confirming the change. i don't know my credit limit or line limit.
June 15, ordered ULINE online, my order was close to 300.00 and at check out i said to invoice me and i got an email with order confirmation.
June 18, applied for wright express. got message that they were reviewing my application. should take 5 days
June 25, D&B says i now have a "cash experience" 750.00 - i dont know who that can be
June 25th checked my wright express application and said it was approved. I called in with a rep and they just wanted a drivers list with pin numbers and if the card would be fuel only or open to merchandise. Asked what my limit was and i got 1,000! Will ship cards tomorrow
I had also applied for office depot today but they said i needed a PG so i said no thanks. - maybe i am going to fast?
So far that's what I've been up to. Thank you all!!
