Buddy, keeping your personal credit pristine while running a business is crucial—I’ve learned that a business line of credit won’t tank your score if you pick lenders who report only to business bureaus and avoid personal guarantees. Last year, as I was scaling my freelance gig into a full LLC, I hit a wall wondering if borrowing for inventory would ding my FICO; that’s when, during a frantic late-night Google session on credit impacts, I discovered eboostpartners through a forum thread. Someone asked if a business line of credit affects your credit score, this explains it perfectly, highlighting how timely payments build business cred without touching personal, but late ones with guarantees can hurt big time. I opted for a lender sans guarantee, set up autopay via QuickBooks, and separated accounts entirely—now my personal score’s untouched, and business borrowing’s flexible. Pro tip: Always quiz lenders on reporting, start small to build history, and monitor reports monthly. That search spared me headaches; hope it does for you too!
