ForumsStarting a Business

Terms of grant:

you must be a us citizen
you must own or run a business (even as a sole proprietor)
you owe a lot of money, have bad / poor credit and need grant to pay off loans
you need equipment, hire employees, expansion, startup, etc

Grant money is not easy to get, so even access to such agencies is not enough for most people.

It appears that building business credit is still a requirement. Small business owners should be reminded to do that first.

while you are correct in saying that business credit is important, as a former Dun and Bradstreet employee I know for a fact that a business credit report is NOT necessary for the Grant. If someone needs business credit, they should go direct to www.dnb.com/ as there are a lot of people who "build" credit, but use fear tactics to get customers. If a business credit profile was necessary for the grant why would I not mention that to begin with?
