If you have a s corporation or a LLC?

Question

and you build business credit for years, is it possible to get another corporation, and already have business credit for it since you already have one?

for example, I have a s corporation and am going to build business credit for it. but in 2 years i want an LLC also, but dont want to have to build business credit all over again. you have to have a business for atleast 2 years before you can borrow money from banks without a personal gauntor.

im using a s corporation for real estate, buy and sell,
and want a LLC for buy and hold.

Answer 1

I would open the LLC as a subsidiary of the S Corp, and use the S Corp as a primary on the loan

Answer 2

Each corporation or LLC are seperate entities. They are stand alone and have nothing to do with the credit of the other. In Real estate, you can borrow the money as most banks are making you sign personally for the money. Your personal credit and property value will determine if you can borrow. Not your corporate status. Good Luck

Answer 3

Each entity will be a new borrower in the eyes of lenders and will have to build its own credit profile. Unless your S-Corp has a good D&B rating it will probably always need a personal guarantor. If your S-Corp has a strong D&B rating, it MIGHT be acceptable as a guarantor for the new LLC but the new LLC will need some sort of guarantor.

Answer 4

I currently have 3 LLC's and If you are using your personal Social Security # than the business will always have credit under your #. If each have a separate tax ID # than credit will have to be built separately. Look to make a enterprise than all company's within that Enterprise will be available for credit.

P.S. Separate lines of credit are better if one falls through you will not affect the credit of the other businesses
