So I'm in the beginning stages of starting to build business credit but I have one question, How do I go about applying for Vendor accounts like Quill, Uline, Grainger exc.? Below are the things I've done thus far with my business:
1.) 2 yr. old Corp. SOS Filed in Texas
2.) Website
3.) Business phone
4.) Registered phone # with free 411 national listing
5.) Registered website with all search engines possible
6.) Requested catalogs from Grainger, Reliable, and Uline
7.) In the process of getting D&B number.
From here, I'm not sure if I need to go online to each of the vendor websites and set up accounts then place orders, not sure I if should order from the catalogs I requested and they'll just report my purchases to D&B automatically, or should I call each vendor and request to open a credit accounts with them.. If anyone can please advise, I would greatly appreciate it.
