When used correctly, a business credit card can improve an entity’s financial profile. These cards help business owners manage their expenses and also provide exclusive perks. If you’re using a personal card to conduct business transactions, you’ll want to read below. Don’t miss our exclusive offer for entrepreneurs that want to do more GOOD with their accounts.
Personal and business credit card differences
There are several differences between personal and business cards. The first distinction regards the way information reports to the credit bureaus. With a personal credit card, your activity publishes monthly to Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. With a business credit card, some issuers only report activity in the event of a default.
Additionally, business cards provide more spending power than personal cards. That’s because limits stand on business revenue, which is typically higher than a personal budget. In any event, it’s best to review the full terms of a credit card before signing up.
