Business Formation Uncovered: Navigating Business Structures

In 2025, improving your personal credit is a critical step in securing business funding. Lenders view your creditworthiness as a reflection of financial responsibility. As the Founder & CEO of EXPANDEMONIUM, almost half the clients I work with have some type of personal credit issue that warrants an application denial according to current lending standards. With that said, start by (1) reviewing your credit report for errors and disputing any inaccuracies that may be lowering your score. Consistently making (2) on-time payments is essential, as payment history accounts for a significant portion of your credit score. (3) Lower your credit utilization by paying down existing debt and keeping balances below 20% (preferably 10%) of your credit limits. Avoid (4) unnecessary credit inquiries and new accounts that could temporarily drop your score. Additionally, maintain a (5) diverse credit mix, such as credit cards, installment loans, and retail accounts, to demonstrate financial stability. By taking these proactive measures, you can boost your credit profile, increase your chances of loan approval, and secure better financing options to grow your business successfully. MORE IMPORTANTLY, through the power of AI, it is easier than ever to accomplish a 700+ credit score in no time due to advanced disputing capabilities. This webinar will be power-packed with insight on exactly how the process of improving personal credit works. Best of all, you can Do-It-Yourself (DIY)!!! The days of paying a credit repair company hundreds or thousands of dollars to accomplish the same results you can achieve on your own are OVER!!! There is no time like NOW to make the changes you’ve always wanted to see on your personal credit score and report.

In 2025, structuring your business properly is essential to securing Business Funding, as lenders and investors look for credibility, stability and legal protection. As the Founder & CEO of EXPANDEMONIUM, Terence Spencer has noticed that far too many business owners have structured their business to be noticeable, BUT not Fundable. For instance, choosing the proper entity structure (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC), securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, picking the right business address, using the right business phone number, congruency within all documentation, business bank account setup, professional website and email address, DUN#, choosing the correct NAICS Code and posting your business on the right platforms are all data points business owners do not consider that banks hold in high esteem when applying for Business Funding. Unfortunately, a lender can deny your application for one of the areas I mentioned above, so it is incumbent upon you to know what is necessary for funding success! There is no time like NOW to make the necessary adjustments to your business structure and change the entire trajectory of your company!
