Net-30 Vendor Accounts: The Complete List That Reports to Credit Bureaus (2025)
Net-30 vendor accounts are the foundation of business credit. Open the right ones, pay early, and you build a credit profile. Open the wrong ones—or ones that don't report—and you're wasting time.
This list includes only vendors confirmed to report to business credit bureaus in 2025. Each entry includes what they sell, who they report to, typical credit limits, and how hard they are to get approved.
No fluff. Just the vendors you actually need.
How to Use This List
Tier 1 vendors approve most businesses with a D-U-N-S Number. Start here.
Tier 2 vendors typically require 2-3 existing trade references. Apply after you have Tier 1 accounts reporting.
Tier 3 vendors require stronger profiles—usually 5+ trade lines and/or Paydex of 70+.
Application tips:
- Apply for 2-3 vendors per week maximum
- Use your exact legal business name consistently
- Have your D-U-N-S Number ready
- Make purchases within 30 days of approval

What to Buy
You might be wondering: "I don't need shipping supplies or office furniture."
Here's the thing—you probably need something from these vendors. And if not, buy strategically:
Office supplies you always need:
- Printer paper
- Ink/toner
- Pens, notepads
- Filing supplies
- Computer accessories
Shipping supplies:
- Boxes (if you ever ship anything)
- Tape
- Mailers
- Labels
Items with resale value:
- Buy gift cards from some vendors
- Items you'll use eventually
- Supplies for client gifts
The purchases don't need to be large. $50-$100 per vendor is enough to establish and maintain the trade line.
How to Maximize Your Trade References
Pay Early
This cannot be stressed enough. Early payment directly improves your Paydex:
| Payment Timing | Paydex Score |
|---|---|
| 30 days early | 100 |
| 20 days early | 90 |
| 10 days early | 85 |
| On time | 80 |
Make Regular Purchases
One purchase won't build much credit. Monthly or quarterly purchases show ongoing credit use.
Keep Accounts Active
Vendors may stop reporting inactive accounts. Make at least one purchase per quarter.
Verify Reporting
After 30-60 days, check D&B CreditSignal to confirm accounts appear. If not, contact the vendor's credit department.
Vendors to Avoid
Not all "Net-30" accounts are useful:
Don't report to bureaus: Some companies offer Net-30 terms but don't report to D&B, Experian, or Equifax. These don't help build credit.
Expensive "credit builder" programs: Companies that charge $500+ to "set up" trade references are usually scams. The vendors on this list are free to open.
Personal credit disguised as business: Some "business" accounts are actually personal credit in disguise. Verify they report to business bureaus.

Next Steps
Net-30 accounts are the building blocks. Start with 2-3 Tier 1 vendors this week. Pay them early. Build from there.
The goal isn't to open the most accounts—it's to establish a pattern of responsible credit use that creditors trust.
