Reward Your Business with These Business Credit Card Offers
Most small businesses are under-capitalized and find it hard to get credit. One way to approach the problem is to try for a
business credit card, which might be easier to obtain than a bank
or SBA loan.
What to Look for in a Business Credit Card
If possible you want the business to be responsible for the debt, not the business owners personally. With a new business this may be next to impossible, but it's worth a try.
Other than that, you would look for the same things you would in a consumer credit card: low or no annual fees, at least a 25 day grace period and a low interest rate are essential.
If possible, you want to stay away from cards that use "two-cycle" billing and the "universal default clause", but you'll have to read the fine print to determine if any specific lender does (and it appears more and more do).
Business credit cards tend to carry higher credit limits. Other than that they offer a variety of incentives and also usually offer either rewards or cash back.
A new business credit card, The American Express SimplyCash(SM) Business Card offers a good combination of incentives and rewards. I like the fact that your cash back rewards are automatically credited to each month's statement.
