See how your business setup looks.

The free check looks at the business facts you share and names the top gaps.

Start the free check

This is a readiness self-assessment, not a credit application or a loan offer.

This is a free course. We do not lend, and this course does not arrange broker financing.

A short look at the first four lessons from Flip It Business Consultants. Lesson 1 is free, and it is the place to start.

This preview sits outside the lessons. Watching it does not finish a lesson or open the next one.

  1. Lesson 1

    Setup Basics

    Eight short videos: what business credit is, register, EIN, address, phone, a separate bank account, a free D-U-N-S number, and records that include your website and listings.

  2. Lesson 2

    Business credit bureaus and opening a file

    What a business credit file is, and what this course will not do with one.

  3. Lesson 3

    Starter vendor accounts

    A starter vendor account lets your business buy supplies now and pay later, in its own name.

  4. Lesson 4

    Moving up vendor tiers

    How vendor tiers are usually described, and why a tier is not an approval.

The Readiness Check is a self-assessment of your business setup. It isn't a credit score, a credit report, a loan offer or a prediction that any lender will approve you.
