A study by the Tower Group reports that two out of three small businesses use a small business credit 
 
card for purchasing and financing. So why are small business credit cards so prevalent? Small business credit cards offer small businesses a crucial edge allowing small business owners to expand or limit the growth of their business, as needed, providing the flexibility necessary to match their company's growth needs.

Small Business Credit Card Edge

Help with Your Cash Flow: The best use of borrowed finances is to assist with month to month cash flow. Small business credit cards help you get the much needed credit to help your business grow while providing a margin of safety for your cash flow needs.

Maintaining Independent Accounts: Mixing your personal and business transaction accounts could lead to poor money management and potential tax problems. With a small business credit card, you'll be able to maintain separate accounts on your personal card.

Help Balancing Your Books: This one is thrown in for free. With your card company maintaining an ongoing transaction record, you will have a convenient record of all transaction items that can be reconciled at tax time. Simply have the credit card company provide you an itemized list of all purchases made using their credit card and you'll have some built-in transparency on all of your spending activities and financial accounts.

Build Your Credit Limit: Small businesses looking to expand need capital. You card provides your business with an opportunity to build your credit limit with consistent use and repayment over time. Access to more capital offers financial muscle to help grow the business, providing larger income opportunities for the small business owner.

Pre-Set Employee Spending Limits: For businesses wanting to keep a tight watch over their finances, these cards usually offer preset spending limits for employees, providing an excellent check and balance system for all your company expenditures.

Take Advantage of Special Offers: The competitive market has forced credit card companies to throw in special discounts and rewards programs. By examining the travel and entertainment requirements of your company, you will be able to grab offers that can help reduce your expenses through the use of reward point systems.

Tips for Selecting Small Business Credit Cards

If your existing business partners provide a small business credit card, it is probably a good idea to stick to them as you are more likely to get favorable rates and credit lines with an established credit line. Late payment and other such penalties will have to be borne by the company and not the employee. Therefore, give cards only to employees you absolutely trust and only provide credit limits that are in line with their expenditure requirements. Make sure the card you choose is widely accepted so that it helps meet everyone's expense item needs.

Small business credit cards are quickly establishing themselves as an efficient way to increase capital and buying power for small businesses. While this calls for responsibility in its management, a small business credit card could go a long way in changing the face of your business for the better.
