I need some advice. I own my own business for about 4 months. I'm a 21 year old self employed web developer, and I've never had any credit. I make between $750-1200 a week and I hope to get a very small credit line to prove that I can pay my payment early every month. I don't need a consumer card to purchase from websites, maybe just a gas card or something that could help me to build credit. Do you by chance have any advice for me?
