Before banks ever check your credit score, they judge your business name and NAICS code. These two alone can trigger auto-denials, low limits, or force extra documentation.
Avoid these terms in your name or code:
Automatically flagged as high-risk by most lenders
Flipping and wholesaling trigger immediate scrutiny
Considered volatile and high-risk industry
Federal banking restrictions create barriers
Immediate denial from traditional lenders
Credit repair, funding, crypto all raise red flags
Even with great credit, you'll be flagged as high risk.
Go with names that feel safe and boring:
Top codes that work for nearly any business model:
Administrative & General Management Consulting
Other Management Consulting
Other Professional, Scientific & Technical Services
Other Real Estate Activities (safe RE code)
Every business consults in some way — even Airbnb or flipping.
Note: NAICS and SIC codes are often assigned automatically, and typically no action is needed of you.
Change the name via your Secretary of State or Bizee
Update the NAICS code with IRS or simply use a safe code on apps
"123 Properties LLC" or code 531110
This immediately signals real estate investing and triggers scrutiny from lenders.
"Greyrock Consulting Group LLC" and code 541611 or 531390
You're still doing RE — just positioned as consulting for funding approvals.
