Proper business setup starts with an LLC. Then, get your free EIN from IRS.gov. Next, apply for a free DUNS number at Dun & Bradstreet to build business credit. Your EIN is your business's Social Security number.

Your credit structure is key. Poor structure leads to denials, not due to lack of capability, but because your profile wasn't positioned correctly. Understanding this is the first step to financial success.
