National Small Business Week is a time to recognize the entrepreneurs who keep the economy moving—and to make sure they have the tools to keep growing.
One of those tools is business credit.
For many small business owners, credit is often treated as an afterthought or confused with personal credit. But building a strong business credit profile can open doors to financing, improve credibility with suppliers, and create more flexibility to manage cash flow.
That’s why Experian is partnering with SCORE to host a special webinar during National Small Business Week:
Join us for:
Business Credit 101: Build Credit, Access Funding, and Grow Your Business
Date: Wednesday, May 6th, 2026 | 11:00 Eastern
Why Business Credit Matters
Unlike personal credit, business credit doesn’t just happen over time. It has to be built intentionally. Without an established credit profile, lenders and suppliers may have limited insight into how your business manages financial obligations. That can make it harder to qualify for funding—or lead to less favorable terms. A strong business credit profile, on the other hand, can help position your business for better financing opportunities and support long-term growth.
What you’ll learn in this webinar
In this session, Experian’s Veronica Herrera will break down the fundamentals of business credit in a way that’s practical and easy to apply.
You’ll learn how to:
- Understand the difference between a business credit profile and a business credit score
- See how business credit compares to personal credit—and why both may be considered by lenders
- Set up the right structure to start building business credit
- Strengthen your credit profile through trade relationships and consistent payment habits
- Manage credit utilization and its impact on your score
- Monitor your credit and prepare for lender evaluation with greater confidence
Who should attend
