What You’ll Need to Start a Credit Repair Business from Scratch

Before you can decide on a company to work with that offers pieces of the credit repair business you need to understand all the pieces you’ll need. Here is a partial list of what you would need to start a credit repair business.

A Web Site- and text for that website such as frequently asked questions, a marketing video explaining your service, a contact form, an option for a client to sign up for your credit repair service online, and more. Also, in order for that website to bring you traffic or prospective clients, you'll need to learn and understand Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Marketing Materials- brochures, flyers, business cards, and a logo just for starters. To compete with other companies you'll also need videos on the services you offer, Some credit repair companies also now provide a phone app for their clients.

Credit Repair Laws and Surety Bonds- each state in the U.S. has specific laws regarding the operation of a credit repair business in addition to the federal Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA). Many states also require the purchase of a credit repair surety bond. These bonds range up to $100,000.

One of Your Biggest Expenses is Credit Repair Software

You'll need Credit Repair Software to assist in the credit repair process. Otherwise, you'll need to draft dispute letters manually. You'll also need to develop a sales tracking system, and accounting procedures to monitor payments from customers.

Credit Reports- credit repair software companies like Credit Repair Cloud do not provide you with a direct means of pulling credit for your client. They recommend that you have your client open an account with a company like Identity IQ or Smart Credit. This is an additional monthly fee for your client. Then you'll need to ask them to provide you with their log-in details so you can get their credit report. This is not the most professional and convenient way to get a credit report.

Merchant Services- in order for you to take credit and debit cards for payment, you'll need a merchant account with a merchant services company. With Credit Repair Cloud, you'll need to set this up yourself and incur an additional cost to do so. Please note that it is difficult to get a merchant services account, as a credit repair provider. You'll potentially need to provide financial documentation including bank statements.

A Staffed Phone Line for customer support. This is often overlooked. Some customers will be highly concerned and pay close attention to what is happening with their credit restoration account. You need to think about the time you'll have during business hours to answer these calls. And, if you aren't always available during business hours,https://eracreditservices.com/2020/06/credit-repair-business-training/ how will you manage the receipt and return of these calls.

An Automated Process for updating clients on their credit repair progress. People are very used to being able to access information online or through their phones.

Get Trained by People That Work the Business Everyday

Receive training on credit repair laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Credit Repair Organizations Act, sales training, and business training that can be done online or in person. Also, will you be able to explain to a prospective client the probability of getting the specific derogatory items they have on their credit report removed? You must manage a client's expectations. Otherwise, they may expect all items to be removed and a 750 credit score within 30 days. As this won't happen in most cases, you should explain this upfront. You will learn this through our flexible credit repair classes.

Differentiators- If you start your own credit repair business by purchasing software through a company like Credit Repair Cloud or DisputeBee, you'll be providing credit repair to your clients, yes. But what will distinguish you from all the other companies out there that provide credit repair services and have far more experience than you do? What will make you different?

We found no companies other than the third option (which we’ll reveal below) that provides all these pieces. To put it all together, costs will range upward from $1,000 to start a credit repair business. But that does not include many of the missing parts of your business. You can estimate the true start up costs yourself but our figure is conservatively at $10,000 over the first year.

Credit Repair Franchise

There is the credit repair franchise or licensee option. We found a few although there may be more.

CreditCRM

According to Franchise Gator,  CreditCRM has a start-up of $15,000.

Credit Dispute Pro

Franchise Clique lists Credit Dispute Pro at a start-up of $9,500.

Credit Repair USA

There is also a company called Credit Repair USA which is not a franchise. They consider you a licensee. According to a video on their website as of the update of this post, they’ve been bringing on licensees since 2015 and have about 200 such licensees. Franchise Gator lists their fees at between $199/mo to $1499/mo.

Challenges with a Credit Repair Franchise

Let’s assume each of these franchisors or licensors provides you with everything listed above. And let's ignore the fact for a moment that many credit repair franchisors have gone out of business. That, of course, leaves their franchisees with no benefit from the money they spent on the franchise. You still have to consider that franchisors typically limit your territory.

And what really are you paying thousands of dollars for? None of these companies have a household name. If you buy a Subway sandwich franchise you’re getting a recognized name and national TV exposure. But none of these companies will accomplish that for you.  And, are they going to satisfy the requirements in your state, or do you have to do that?
