Business Credit Card

Advantages of Business Credit Cards

Why should you get a Business Credit Card?

• Access to Cash Flow: Regular cash flow is generally a priority for business owners, regardless of the size of the company. Having a business credit card makes it more convenient to access cash flow & keep your expenses in check.
• Easier Qualification: It is easier for businesses without a well-established credit history to qualify for a credit card. It’s much easier than a traditional line of credit or a bank loan.
• Improves Credit Rating: Having a business credit card and paying off the balance regularly can help boost your business credit rating. Although the vendors and suppliers you work with must report transactions to the credit bureaus.
• Rewards: Just like many personal credit cards, business cards will often offer points, cash-back, miles, or other nice perks. Rewards can be redeemed in a variety of ways, such as statement credits, gift cards, merchandise, and travel.
• Financial Cushion: A credit card can provide business owners with a much-needed financial cushion. They might need it when accounts receivable are behind or sales are slow and the business is short on cash.
• Book-keeping Assistance: Most Business card-holders get online record-keeping tools to manage their accounts. They can help the bookkeepers track, categorize, and manage expenses.

Business Credit Card Requirements

• Business Information: While applying for a business credit card, you’ll have to provide details like business’ legal name, contact information, industry type, legal structure, time in business, and the number of employees.
• Federal Tax ID: A credit card issuer will use your Federal Tax ID, a.k.a EIN (Employer Identification Number) to verify your business. If you’re a sole proprietorship, you can list your social security number instead of EIN.
• Annual Revenue and Monthly Expenditures: You’ll need to report your annual business revenue and estimated monthly spend on the card. The card issuer wants to know that your revenue can handle monthly card payments.
• Personal Information: The card issuer will use your legal name, contact information, and social security number to check your personal credit score. More often than not, it is the most important business credit card requirement.
• Personal Credit History: A credit card issuer will use your personal credit history to determine your reliability as a borrower and to determine whether you’ll be able to personally cover the debt in case if the business fails.
• Personal Guarantee: A personal guarantee states that the card issuer holds you personally, financially responsible if the primary payer, that is your business, fails to repay their credit card bills.
