info_outlineLearn how to build business credit fast and access capital without destroying your personal credit
Build business credit fast and unlock funding opportunities most entrepreneurs never discover—that's exactly what you'll learn in this game-changing episode with Ty Crandall, who runs the world's largest business credit coaching operation. Charles Gaudet and Ty dive deep into the critical mistakes business owners make when funding their companies, revealing why the worst time to seek money is when you actually need it. Ty shares his proven "3 C's Formula" (Cashflow, Credit, Collateral) that has helped thousands of businesses access over $30 million in funding monthly, and you'll discover how to separate your personal finances from business liability, build a fundable business credit profile from scratch, and tap into funding options ranging from $160K in 0% interest credit cards to 4% EIDL loans with 30-year terms.
Ty Crandall is a military veteran, world-renowned business credit and financing expert, and successful entrepreneur who has transformed personal tragedy into a mission of service. As the author of two best-selling books on consumer and commercial credit, Ty is also a high-level business coach who helps entrepreneurs scale to 8-figures and beyond, and an international speaking sensation. After losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis—including his mortgage company, personal assets, and even resorting to passing bad checks to keep electricity on for his pregnant wife—Ty rebuilt from ground zero with a fundamental shift in purpose. His painful experience drives his commitment to educating business owners on building fundable companies while protecting their personal assets, making Credit Suite the go-to resource for entrepreneurs seeking capital access at favorable terms without personal guarantees.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- The worst time to ask for money is when you actually need it—entrepreneurs should prepare and secure revolving credit lines before cash flow problems arise.
- Business owners should double their estimated startup costs and timelines, as ventures typically take twice as long and cost twice as much as anticipated.
- Building business credit is separate from personal credit and should begin the moment you start your business to avoid personal liability and guarantee requirements.
- The "3 C's Formula" determines funding eligibility: Cashflow, Credit, and Collateral—if you have all three, you qualify for SBA loans; if you have one strength, focus on lenders specializing in that category.
- Unlike personal credit, business credit scores (like Paydex) are based solely on payment history, inquiries don't hurt your score, and 90% of vendors don't report unless you're intentional about it.
- Entrepreneurs should stock up on revolving credit whenever available and when terms are favorable, even if they don't need it immediately, to prepare for economic downturns or unexpected opportunities.
- Alternative funding options beyond traditional banks include merchant cash advances, credit card stacking ($160K at 0% for 18 months), asset-based lending (stocks, 401Ks, cryptocurrency), and EIDL disaster loans at 4% for 30 years.
- Using brokers instead of going directly to lenders provides access to more funding options, better negotiating power, and often costs nothing extra since lenders pay referral fees to brokers.
