Many credit repair specialists fall into the industry almost by accident. Many of our credit heroes tell us how they started their business as a result of:
- Repairing their own credit and wanting to pursue their passion for helping others do the same
- Working in a related industry and seeing the way credit bureaus take advantage of those in need
- Feeling frustrated in their current profession and needing a professional change
Regardless of the back story, most often, credit repair professionals don’t have years of entrepreneurial or industry knowledge before launching.
And that’s totally OK.
Luckily, in credit repair, there are many avenues to further your knowledge and learn the trade without having to go through formal training. Consider these four ways to learn how you can start your very own credit repair business, directly from the professionals who have done it themselves.

2. Read Email Newsletters
It’s likely that you already have dozens of emails bombarding your inbox every day. If you’re like most of us, it’s easy to click ‘delete’ without giving a second glance to the content. However, newsletters from credit repair industry experts are a great way to learn how you can improve your business via:
- Industry updates
- Best practices
- Tips and tricks
Make it a point to set aside 10 minutes each month to read through Credit Repair Cloud’s newsletter, which is a roundup of important credit repair industry updates, as well as any updates to our credit repair software.
Included in the newsletter is also a credit repair tip of the month written by Corey Gray, who has more than 20 years in the credit repair industry.
