|
|
A lot of people associate credit cards with just personal credit
card which an individual posses and uses for shopping etc.
However, there is another category of credit cards and that is
called small business credit cards. As suggested by the name
itself, the small business credit cards are meant for small
businesses or people running small businesses.
So how does the small business credit card differ from the other
credit cards in general?
The very obvious difference is that small business credit cards
have the credit account in the name of the small business and
not any individual, though the benefits indirectly accrue to the

The indirect benefits associated with small business credit
cards are so great that it makes them almost indispensable. The
most important benefit is that you can easily segregate your
business and personal expenses. So if you have been wasting a
lot of time keeping track of your business bills and trying to
keep them separate from personal bills, small business credit
cards could help. You just need to ensure that you always make
all your business payments using your small business credit
card. When the credit card bill comes at the month end, you will
have itemized account of all the business expenses as a single
document. Thus small business cards reduce (and in some cases
completely remove) the need for bookkeeping for a small
business. The credit card company does that for you for free,
although indirectly.
Another important benefit comes from rolling credit. If you have
to pay for your purchases upfront and still invoice your clients
later (a situation faced very often with small businesses), you
can roll the credit, you are providing your client with, to your
credit card. Moreover, |
