All Business Information Must Match

You must confirm that every agency, creditor, supplier, and vendor to name a few has your business listed the exact same way. (business name, business address, company phone number, etc.)

Keep all company data identical on websites, registrations, applications, filings, accounts, etc. This is the key to avoiding duplicate business credit files or a potential decline of credit due to mismatched data.

For example, one agency may have you listed as “ABC, Inc.”, while another has you as “AB Enterprises”, and another one as “ABC Consultants, Inc”. There are also simple differences like those between “Suite 200”, “#200”, and “Apt. 200”. The differences are important and they should be corrected where possible.
