Everything you need to know to choose a business current account.
Most business credit cards have a grace period – typically between 45 and 59 days – in which you can repay purchases made on the card without accruing interest. This grace period can also give you some payment flexibility if you have a particularly expensive month.
When comparing credit cards, you should look at the APR, which includes the annual fee you’ll have to pay, as these can vary considerably. Providers can also charge for each additional card you need on the account. Some business credit card providers will require you to be banking with them already in order to be eligible for a card. Others will only offer a card where your turnover is above, or below a certain level.
Credit can be a useful way to manage short term blips in cashflow. However pay close attention to the when interest will start to be charged as interest costs could soon mount up. If you need more longer term lending then consider a business loan.
