Regardless of whether you are going to rely on your current resources or obtain commercial financing, you will need to obtain a copy of your credit report for several reasons:
You can ensure accuracy by reviewing your report before potential investors or suppliers do.
You can find out about any outstanding issues related to previous debt before your suppliers or potential investors do.
You can show family and friends that you are serious about treating their investment professionally.
You can show potential suppliers and investors your positive payment history.
Equifax,
Experian, and
TransUnion
are the three major credit bureaus. Each of the credit bureau has a process by which you can request and obtain a copy of your credit report.
