Start Your LLC & Build Business Credit

Step 1: Choose a Business Name

Use something brand-aligned like “We Build Fitness LLC”. Check domain + social availability. Make it sound professional for banks and vendors.

Step 2: Form Your LLC

Use Bizee (formerly IncFile) to form your LLC:

• ✔ Free setup – just pay your state filing fee
• ✔ EIN included
• ✔ Operating Agreement included

Step 3: Open a Business Bank Account

Use your EIN (not SSN). Recommended banks: Novo, Bluevine, or Chase. This protects your legal structure and separates your finances.

Step 4: Set Up a Professional Presence

• Business phone: Google Voice or OpenPhone
• Business email: e.g. [email protected]
• Business address: use a virtual address like iPostal1 or Anytime Mailbox
• Logo + site: Already handled with WeBuildMuscle.com

Step 5: Build Business Credit with Net-30 Vendors

Start with these vendors that report to major bureaus:

• Uline – Experian, D&B
• Grainger – D&B
• Quill – D&B, Experian
• Crown Office Supplies – Equifax, D&B
• Creative Analytics – D&B, Experian
• Shirtsy – Equifax, CreditSafe

Buy monthly, pay early, and repeat for 3 months.

Step 6: Monitor & Scale

Create a free account on NAV.com. Once you have 3 tradelines reporting, apply for business credit cards or funding opportunities.
