Using Business Credit to Fund Growth and Acquisitions With Ty Crandall [Ep.205]

Many entrepreneurs leave huge sums of money on the table because they don't understand business credit.

In this episode, Ty Crandall, CEO of Credit Suite, breaks down how business credit really works and how online business owners can use it as a serious growth and acquisition tool.

We start by unpacking the key differences between business credit and personal credit, and why separating the two is critical if you want to scale responsibly.

Ty explains the types of business credit you can access without personal guarantees and what actually goes into a business credit score.

From there, Ty walks us through how to identify which business credit cards truly count as credit lines, the four credit tiers businesses move through as they build credibility, and how tradelines function specifically for online businesses.

We also dig into how entrepreneurs can qualify for 0% interest cards and when it makes sense to use them.

Finally, we tackle how to use creative financing and business credit to acquire companies. We compare SBA loans and revenue-based financing and discuss when each option makes sense for acquisitions.

If you're an online business owner thinking about scaling, buying your first company, or simply becoming more fundable, this episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately.
