Choosing a Credit Card for Your Business

Article by Better Business Bureau - 04/08/11

If expense reports are piling up and processing employee reimbursements is using staff resources, it might be time to consider a business credit card. Better Business Bureau offers advice to business owners on choosing the right credit card for your business.

According to a 2009 survey by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 83 percent of small businesses used credit cards, 64 percent used small business cards, and 41 percent used personal cards.

For small business owners, now may be a good time to research how a business credit card can benefit operations, or to re-evaluate existing business credit card plans to take advantage of best rates and current offers in the marketplace.
