Business credit cards

The first credit most businesses get, and the cheapest when used well.

In short

Business credit cards are approved on the owner's personal credit, so new businesses qualify. The best ones offer 12 months of 0% intro APR on purchases, no annual fee and 1.5% to 2% back or equivalent points. Cards that report to business bureaus also build your business credit file.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a business credit card for a new LLC?
Yes. Approval is based on your personal credit score, typically 690 or higher for the best cards.
Do business credit cards affect personal credit?
Most issuers do a hard pull at application and require a personal guarantee, but do not report ordinary balances to personal bureaus. Capital One is an exception.
