Affiliate Disclosure

Company Base OS recommends net-30 vendors, business cards, and other financial products to help you build business credit. In some cases, we have a paid partnership with a vendor we recommend, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this platform. This page tells you exactly where that applies and how it does, and doesn't, affect what we tell you.

Which recommendations are affiliate relationships

Nine to Five Essentials Plus is a paid affiliate partner. When you sign up through the link on your Tradelines dashboard or through the AI Credit Coach, we may earn a commission. Any card or coach answer that names Nine to Five Essentials Plus carries this same disclosure.

No other vendor currently listed in Company Base OS is a paid partner. That list changes as we add or remove partnerships, and this page is always the source of truth for what is and isn't a paid relationship, whatever the dashboard or the AI Coach says at any given moment.

What this does and doesn't change

A paid partnership never changes whether we tell you a vendor reports to a business credit bureau. Our vendor rankings are built on documented evidence of bureau reporting first, and a partnership is layered on top of that, never in place of it. If a partner vendor stopped reporting, or if the evidence behind a recommendation didn't hold up, we would say so, the same way we tell you plainly that Uline and Grainger, the two most commonly recommended vendors nationally, do not confirm bureau reporting anywhere on their own sites.
