You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Building A+ Business Credit (How long it takes, with references)
-If your business is new, or if you haven't yet established business credit, obtaining tradelines is a great way to begin building your business credit report.
How to ensure creditors and suppliers can validate your business information:
Incorporate or form an LLC (Limited Liability Company) to ensure your company is seen as a separate business entity
Obtain a federal Employer Identification Number
Open business bank accounts in your legal business name
Set up a dedicated business phone line in your business name and make sure it's listed
How to Establish Business Credit
Once you've completed the steps above, you can request business credit in your company name. Your business trades then are reported to Credit Reporting agencies, creating a robust business credit report that gives lenders and suppliers quality information about your company and boosts your ability to obtain loans, increase credit lines and earn more favorable credit terms.
Establish business credit with companies that report trades. Remember, not all business creditors report their trade information.
How long?
Building good credit can take as little as a year from having no credit history.
