🛡 Step 6 — Protect the Empire

💵 Financial Safeguards

  • Reserve 3–6 months’ operating expenses.

  • Keep business & personal accounts separate.

⚖️ Legal

  • Keep LLC filings current via your state’s .gov portal.

  • Get insurance: SBA Insurance Guide.

  • Trademark your name/logo at USPTO if applicable.

📅 Step 7 — Review, Refine, Repeat

Every 90 days:

  • Review your Profit & Loss.

  • Double down on what’s working.

  • Cut or fix what’s not.

💳 Step 8 — Master Your Credit

Your credit score isn’t just a number — it’s a financial leverage tool that can open doors to low-interest business loans, better insurance rates, and major purchases like property or equipment. Good credit can save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime, while bad credit can cost you the same.

Why Credit Matters for Veterans & Entrepreneurs:

  • Business Financing – Many lenders check both your personal and business credit.

  • Lower Interest Rates – A strong score means cheaper borrowing.

  • Vendor Terms – Good credit can secure longer payment terms and higher credit limits.

Building Credit from Scratch:

  1. Open a Secured Credit Card and use it for small, manageable purchases — pay in full monthly.

  2. Become an Authorized User on someone’s established account (with good credit).

  3. Take out a Credit Builder Loan through a Credit Union or Self.

Repairing Damaged Credit:

  1. Pull your free credit reports from AnnualCreditReport.com.

  2. Dispute inaccuracies with each bureau (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion).

  3. Pay down high balances — aim for under 30% utilization.

  4. Set all bills to auto-pay to avoid late payments.

Pro Tip: If your business is set up as an LLC, establish Business Credit separately with Nav and request a D-U-N-S Number from Dun & Bradstreet to build credibility with suppliers and lenders.
