How Business Credit Can Empower Entrepreneurs to Secure Funding

By Kia Matthews, Founder of Upsurge Financial.
When I started my journey into the world of business credit five years ago, I never imagined how transformative it would be—not just for me, but for countless entrepreneurs looking for financial stability and growth. What began as a personal quest to understand the complexities of business financing has now become a mission to empower other business owners to unlock their full potential through business credit.
The Beginning of My Business Credit Journey
Like many entrepreneurs, I faced significant challenges when trying to secure financing for my business. Traditional lending options were often out of reach, and the idea of using my personal credit and assets to secure loans was daunting. I knew there had to be a better way. This realization sparked my interest in business credit—a separate credit profile that businesses can build without relying on personal credit.
The Learning Curve
Building business credit is not a widely discussed topic, and finding reliable information was a challenge. I dedicated myself to learning everything I could, attending workshops, reading extensively, and seeking guidance from experts. I discovered that with the right knowledge and strategy, business owners could access credit and funding without personal guarantees or risking their personal finances.
Why Business Credit Matters
Business credit is a powerful tool that can open doors to numerous financial opportunities. It allows businesses to access vendor credit, revolving credit lines, and loans that don’t require personal guarantees or a personal credit check. This means that even if a business owner has been impacted by personal financial challenges, they can still build a strong credit profile for their business and access the funding they need to grow.
The Birth of Upsurge Financial
Inspired by my own experiences and the gaps I saw in the market, I founded Upsurge Financial. Our mission is to help entrepreneurs understand and leverage the power of business credit. We guide business owners through the process of building and improving their business credit profiles, making it easier to secure funding from a wide range of sources. From vendor accounts to major credit lines, we provide access to financial resources that can make a real difference.

Kia Matthews | Upsurge Financial
My journey with business credit started about 5 years ago. At the time, I noticed that many entrepreneurs were struggling to access the financing they needed to grow their businesses. They were faced with challenges like being denied loans, high-interest rates, or the burden of having to personally guarantee business debt. I knew there had to be a better way, and that’s when I decided to dive deep into the world of business credit.

Overcoming Challenges | My path wasn’t easy. There was a lot to learn, from understanding how business credit works to navigating the complexities of the financing industry. But I was determined to help business owners like myself find a solution. I spent countless hours researching, attending seminars, and learning from industry experts. Slowly but surely, I began to see the power of business credit and how it could transform a business’s financial stability.
A Turning Point | The turning point for me came when I realized that most business owners weren’t aware of the options available to them. Many didn’t know that they could build a strong business credit profile separate from their personal credit, or that they could access significant funding without having to put their personal assets on the line. I knew then that my mission was to educate and empower business owners with this knowledge.

Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the tools and guidance they need to establish and grow their business credit profiles.
