From $1K to $724K: How an EIN Can Unlock Massive Business Funding

Imagine starting with just $1,000 in corporate credit and, within 11 months, unlocking $724,200 in funding. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, this is a real success story of a business owner who strategically built business credit using an Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Why an EIN is the Key to Business Funding

An EIN is more than just a tax ID—it’s your ticket to establishing business credit, separating your personal and business finances, and accessing higher funding opportunities. Without it, lenders and financial institutions see your business as just an extension of you, which can limit your ability to secure credit and loans.

The Journey: How One Business Owner Achieved $724K in Credit

Starting Point: With a corporate credit limit recommendation of $1,000, an Intelliscore Plus of 28, and Financial Security Risks of 6, they faced serious funding challenges.

• A Few Months In: After implementing a structured credit-building program, their credit limit recommendation increased to $6,900, with slight improvements in risk scores.

• 7 Months In: With their business credit foundation growing stronger, they secured a $15,600 credit limit recommendation.

• 9 Months In: A major breakthrough—now boasting an Intelliscore Plus of 80, they jumped to a $65,600 credit limit recommendation.

• 11 Months In: Less than a year after starting, they hit $724,200 in recommended credit, thanks to an Intelliscore Plus of 96 and Financial Security Risks of 98.

What Could You Do With Over $700K in Business Credit?

The first step? Getting an EIN and building business credit strategically.

How to Start Your Business Credit Journey

1. Get Your EIN – If you don’t have one, apply through the IRS website.

2. Open a Business Bank Account – Keep personal and business finances separate.

3. Establish Vendor Credit – Work with suppliers that report to business credit bureaus.

4. Monitor Your Business Credit Scores – Track your progress through agencies like Experian Business, Dun & Bradstreet, and Equifax Business. Remember Corporate Credit is not Personal Credit and is scored 0 - 100.

5. Apply for Higher Credit Limits Over Time – As your credit profile strengthens, so will your funding opportunities.

6. Keep your personal credit and money out of the business. Lenders, government clients and more could use this to establish that you and your business as one and the same. You put your assets at risk and could loose contracts.

7. Hire a Corporate Credit Building company. Even though this is doable on your own, it could take years where a professional service usually takes months.

If this success story proves anything, it’s that business credit is a game-changer. Whether you’re just starting or looking to take your business to the next level, the right steps today can lead to major financial opportunities tomorrow
