Tier 7 Checklist

Tier 7 Checklist

Step 1:  Check Your Credit Reports

Before applying for any new credit lines, check your credit reports to be sure you have the minimum number of tradelines reporting to D&B and Equifax/Experian. If Nav’s business credit reports aren’t providing you with the details you need, now would be a good time to purchase full business credit reports so you can better monitor exactly what’s going on.

Step 2: Check Your List of Credit Offers to See If You Qualify

Now is a great time to look through your collective list of credit offers and see if there’s something your business can qualify for now that it couldn’t before. It’s good to do this every 90 days. If so, go ahead and apply. Wait 30 days for accounts to report before applying for new lines.

Step 3: Business Credit Application

Click the “Apply for Credit” button, fill out the application and
submit.

Select a business card that will fit your needs. Typically the
more paid for an annual fee, the higher the credit limit will be.

Ford’s Commercial Financing applications will vary based on if
you desire a vehicle, a fleet card, leasing, or a line of credit

Step 4: Update the Business Credit Mastery Tracker

The tier tracking sheet must be updated every time you are submitting an application. Indicate the status, and update the login details in the login sheet. 

Step 5: Attend Live Q&A Sessions

You can attend every second Tuesday of the month from 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM and every fourth Thursday from 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM EST.
