Will the loan application show as a hard inquiry on my credit report?
Yes, the individual listed first on the credit application will receive a hard inquiry on his/her personal credit, even if an entity is listed. The first individual listed is considered the primary (and should be the most creditworthy) borrower for the loan and will remain the primary for future loans.
