By establishing tradelines with Net 30 vendors, you can build business credit history by purchasing office, shipping, and industrial supplies. The more vendor tradelines you establish that report your positive history to multiple business credit bureaus, the easier it will be to get approved for business loans and credit lines.

Crown
This vendor account is literally the crown jewel of Net 30 applications since they report to multiple major credit bureaus (D&B, Experian, Equifax, CreditSafe, and NACM).
Being a Tier 1 vendor, the Net 30 application at Crown Office Supplies only asks for your Legal Business Name, EIN, and DUNS number, with the latter being optional. You’ll want D&B reporting though, so be sure you have one before applying.
You can read more about the finer details and how they compare to their competition in our Crown Office Supplies Review.
Summa
Unlike Crown, applying to Summa Office Supplies and getting approval is not as easy for startups. Even though they are a Tier 1 vendor, they have a tiered membership system where if you’re stuck on the bottom rung, you have to make 1-3 months of prepaid purchases before getting Net 30 approved.
The upside is that they report ALL purchases, including prepaid ones to D&B, Experian, and Equifax. To learn more, read our Summa Office Supplies Review.
