    Was that a commercial/business loan? Or equipment?

    Thanks guys. I found a pretty nice 2011 Mac trailer on the east coast so I'm going to fly out to take a look at this week. I'd only need about 10k more to buy it so I'm going to talk to a few banks today and see what they tell me.

    Well, it was both. They made the loan(s) in the name of my business, however, I personally am the guarantor of the loans.

    I wouldn't worry too much about establishing "business credit". Unless you are a multi million dollar business, you are going to be guaranteeing any loan of significant size with your personal John Henry.........

    I think I need to change banks. I've been told by a few people the BMO Harris is good to work with and they have a commercial dept.
