The business credit card that's more rewarding

The application process for a business credit card differs by provider. You'll need to provide personal and business details such as your business's legal name, monthly turnover, and address.

A business credit card works the same way as your personal credit card but instead of being issued to you for your everyday household needs, it is issued to your company for business related expenditures only. A business credit card helps finance short-term needs, boosting your company’s purchasing power. Business credit cards can also be issued to your staff in charge of business expenses, with spending restrictions and thorough transaction histories.

It can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks to get a business credit card.

type of agreement.

Additionally, corporate cards require the balance to be paid in full each month, while small business credit cards allow carrying a balance.
