How can we help?

No. You sign up with your EIN. The credit file we build belongs to your business, not to you personally.

Foundation ($19/mo) is built for businesses just starting to build a credit file from scratch. Momentum ($39/mo) — our most popular plan — reports to more bureaus with a larger tradeline. VIP is a custom, tailor-made plan for established businesses that want maximum tradeline size and white-glove support.

All three run on the same core model: 0% APR, no personal guarantee, reported under your EIN. The difference is scale.

No. Because BCC Supplies reports under your EIN and never runs a personal credit check — hard or soft — your personal credit score has no bearing on your ability to join.

Every plan operates at 0% APR for its entire duration, with no extra fees or cancellation penalties. Your monthly payments are applied directly to your corporate installment tradeline, which simply finances your business's access to our exclusive AI tools and education. (BCC Supplies does not lend money — this is a commercial installment contract, reported as an installment tradeline, not a cash loan.)

Your tradeline reaches full term and the loan amount is paid down to zero — reflecting a fully repaid installment account on your business credit file. Many members choose to open a new plan to keep an active, reporting tradeline in place, but there's no obligation to continue.

Yes. You can move from Foundation to Momentum, or discuss a custom VIP plan, at any time from inside your account. Reach out to support and we'll walk you through how the change affects your existing tradeline.

Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor. BCC Supplies never sees or stores your full card number.

The major business credit bureaus — Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, and Equifax Business. Higher plans include reporting to more of them; everything we report to is included in your plan price.

Not exactly. PAYDEX is built from vendor and trade payment data — it speaks the language of suppliers. FICO SBSS, the model most SBA lenders use, blends business and personal credit data — it speaks the language of banks. See our full breakdown of how the bureaus differ.

What Kikoff does for your personal score, BCC Supplies does for your business — EIN only, personal credit stays out of it. Same fixed-payment mechanism, different file, different bureaus.

Reporting is automatic and typically begins within your first billing cycle. Bureaus generally update their files monthly, so most members see their tradeline reflected within 30–60 days — though exact timing depends on each bureau's own processing schedule.

On every plan, we guarantee your tradeline will be submitted to Experian Business, confirmed received by Experian, and visible on an Experian Business report we pull ourselves — all within 90 days of your sign-up date. If you believe that hasn't happened, contact us to request a review. If it's verified as not reported, you choose the remedy: we retroactively correct and complete your Experian Business reporting, or we refund every fee paid during that 90-day period and close your account. This is separate from early release — that forgives your remaining balance if you want out, for any reason; this refunds fees already paid if Experian reporting isn't confirmed in time. Full details are in our Terms.

D&B's own PAYDEX methodology requires a business to have 3–5 trade experiences reported before D&B will generate a PAYDEX score or publish data on a new business. That threshold depends on other creditors reporting to D&B too, not just BCC Supplies — an outcome outside our control. Since we can't control whether or when other vendors report to D&B on your behalf, we can't make the same timing guarantee there. This applies on Momentum and VIP, the two plans that include D&B reporting.

Credit history can't be rushed — it builds month by month as accounts report. That's exactly why starting early matters: the businesses that are ready when financing matters started building months before they applied, not after.

No single tradeline can guarantee approval for a loan, credit card, or lease. BCC Supplies builds a real, reported payment history — one input among many that lenders consider. We do not guarantee any score, rating, or financing outcome.

No. BCC Supplies is not a bank and does not lend money. Your membership fee is a fixed payment obligation reported as a commercial installment tradeline — not loan proceeds disbursed to you.

Not working out? Exit anytime, no penalty. Not through a self-serve button — every plan is a fixed-term commercial installment contract — but you're never locked in. Contact us by phone or email for any reason and we'll work with you toward a release; an approved release never carries an added penalty or hidden fee.

We also want to be completely transparent with you: even with an approved release, closing a commercial installment tradeline early can negatively impact your business credit profile. Here is a detailed breakdown of how closing an account affects your business credit profile:

• It shrinks your credit history: Business credit bureaus factor in the average age of your accounts. Closing a tradeline, especially one you have had for a while, lowers that average age. A shorter credit history can make your business appear less experienced to potential lenders.
• It reduces your active trade references: Business credit scores (such as the Dun & Bradstreet PAYDEX score) rely heavily on the total number of active vendors reporting positive payment experiences. Closing an account removes an active trade reference, resulting in a thinner, weaker credit file.
• It lowers your available credit: When you close an account, your total available credit drops. If your business carries balances on other cards or loans, reducing your available credit will instantly increase your credit utilization ratio — a key metric that can drag down your score if it gets too high.
• It halts positive payment momentum: Open, active accounts build a continuous, rolling history of on-time payments. Once a tradeline is closed, it stops feeding fresh, positive data to the commercial credit bureaus, stalling the momentum you need to grow your score.

A missed payment may be reported to the business credit bureaus, which can affect your file the same way a late payment would with any other creditor. If you think you'll miss a payment, contact support before the due date — we'd rather help you stay on track than let it hit your report.

No. Every tool inside your account — the document generator and reporting dashboard — is optional. Your tradeline is reported every month whether you ever open any of them or not.

Business credit consulting is included with Momentum at no extra cost. It's there to help you understand your file and make the most of your tradeline while it reports on autopilot in the background.
