Common Questions

No. SMBCredit.net is a business-to-business credit bureau. We report on business entities only — not individuals. Personal credit scores and consumer protections like the FCRA do not apply here. Our data reflects how businesses pay their vendors, suppliers, and creditors.
Your score is based on payment history, trade line age, number of active trade references, any derogatory records, and industry benchmarks. Unlike consumer bureaus, we publish our scoring methodology so you always know what factors matter.
File a dispute directly from your dashboard. Our team investigates and resolves disputes with the reporting party within approximately 72 hours. You'll receive status updates throughout the process and can track everything in real time.
Yes. A subscription is required to access full credit reports. We offer several tiers depending on your search volume and feature needs. See our Pricing page for details.
Register for a reporter account, complete the short approval process, and you can begin uploading trade data within one business day. We support bulk Excel uploads and API integration. Our team is available to help with your first submission.
