Separating You from Your Business


You can separate your personal liability and protect your personal assets from that of the business
by simply incorporating your entity. It is possible to build a business credit profile for a sole
proprietorship or partnership, however you are still responsible for all of the company’s debt. We
recommend building your business credit as a corporation or limited liability company.

Other advantages of a corporation are:


Separation between you and your business.
Limited liability of the owners and officers.
Lower tax liability.
100% tax deductible insurance.
100% reimbursable medical expenses.
Corporate image.
Ability to raise capital and build credit faster.
Reduced risk of audit, as a small corporation.
Stock ownership - easier to transfer assets.
Protect of your personal assets.

Biggest Advantage of Having Business Credit


The biggest advantage of having a good business credit profile is saving money. By obtaining a
more favorable credit score you will lower the interest you pay on loans and leases. For example:

Loan Amount $50,000 $50,000
Length of Loan 10 Years 10 Years
Interest Rate 11% 8%
Payment $689.34 $606.64
