Intro: Credit scores are more important than ever — for loans, jobs, even renting.

1. Check your credit report for free (annualcreditreport.com, errors, disputes)

2. Pay down revolving debt under 30%

3. Don’t close old accounts (helps age of credit)

4. Become an authorized user on someone else’s card

5. Ask for a credit limit increase (but don’t use it)

Bonus: Consider secured credit cards or credit-builder loans

Intro: Starting a business? You’ll need to choose your legal structure.

Sole Proprietor Pros & Cons: Easy setup, low cost, but no liability protection

LLC Pros & Cons: Liability protection, business credit friendly, but state fees apply

Tax Differences: Sole prop = personal taxes only. LLC can file as S-corp later.

What Microsoft Ads likes: Clear business entity = more trust

What we recommend: Start as LLC if you’re serious — easier to get funding, partnerships, ads approval.

Why It Matters: Ad networks and customers expect compliance.

1. Add a Privacy Policy (link to yours)

2. Have a Terms & Conditions page (outline use rules, liability, etc.)

3. Disclose any affiliate links

4. Secure your site with SSL (HTTPS)

5. Use clear opt-in language on forms (GDPR-style is best)
