Multi-LLC Corporate Credit Stack (Layered Entities)

Establish 3–5 LLCs, build independent credit on each, aggregate $500K–$2M in business credit without cross-liability.

Overview

Advanced: create 3–5 LLCs (each with separate D-U-N-S, EIN, address, phone), build PAYDEX 80+ on each over 12–18 months, then each LLC independently qualifies for $100K–$500K in business cards/LOCs (Ramp, Brex, Divvy, Bank LOCs). Aggregate: $500K–$2M. No cross-guarantees; each entity holds distinct assets. Owner is member/manager but doesn't PG. Use for RE holding co, ops co, IP co, management co structure. Legit — many franchisees / real estate investors do this.
