    I have options where I can buy vehicles for the low…. I’d use my personal money to invest and purchase…. No leasing or bank loans needed bro. I purchased two motorcycles for our racing team for promotional marketing and mobile advertisement. Sold all my extras and fun stuff to buy the two bikes, now I rent them for music videos, photoshoots and photography set ups.

    If you are just paying for a car cash, do you use business funds from business checking account or do you use personal checking account and then depreciate the vehicle? Particularly looking at trucks.

    This question may have been asked before, but I'm asking it again. At 4:38 you say ask that a lender does not report to your personal credit unless you default. Well, if you default, don't they have to do that anyway? If they are going to do it anyway, why ask them anything?
    I have good credit, and I know I will have to use my personal credit to qualify for buying a vehicle in my business name. But, that still requires a lender to "ding" your credit score right?

Instead of getting a business auto loan to get a vehicle in your business name; Can't you simply get it under your personal name but transfer it to your LLC? Or get a personal loan either from a bank or dealership but register it in your name?
