As a business owner, it is a must to establish a credit history for your business. A business credit history should be separated from your personal credit history. Doing this will help you and your business since it will open more doors of opportunity and will make transactions easier and faster. Another thing you should focus on is making your credit score much higher because this will help you gain the trust of suppliers, investors and obtain instant approvals from lending companies.
For a newly started business, a Secured Business Credit Card is definitely a big help in establishing a credit history. To guide you, here are some basic pointers about the secured type of “plastic” card for businesses that you should know.
Are these type of plastic cards only for businesses with bad credit? Some people may feel uneasy about applying for a secured type of credit card intended for businesses thinking that this can create a negative image for their business. On the contrary, secured type of “plastic” cards are not meant for businesses with bad credit history alone. Secured business credit cards are especially created to help new businesses start up their credit history too.
So if you are applying for a secured business credit card, a lender will not instantly dismiss you as a high risk borrower. Lenders know that secured business credit cards are for new businesses too.
Will secured business credit cards affect your business reputation in a negative way? If you think that prospective clients or business partners may become skeptical if they found out that your business is using a secured type of card, you can actually keep this matter confidential. The word “secured” will not be printed in your credit card at all. No one will know other than you and your chosen credit card company that you are using a secured business credit card account.
Are secured business credit cards high rate cards? Some secured business credit cards found in the market come with a much higher interest rates than traditional cards. Nevertheless, you can still find issuers offering reasonable rates and fees if you will just do an extensive research.
Secured Business Credit Cards Help build Your Business Credit History
The best thing about a secured business “plastic” card is that it enables any business to establish the company’s credit history without restrictions. If you have already established your business credit history, you can now apply for an unsecured business credit card to start enjoying more privileges such as lower interest rates, higher credit limit, etc.
For Corporations and Small Businesses Alike
Both a corporation and a small business can apply for a secured type of card. The difference is that small businesses can send in their applications at any time and will just have to wait for a response. On the other hand, applying for a corporate secured business credit card involves more complicated procedures.
The business owner must first meet with the issuers, present his business plan, before the application can be reviewed. In both cases, secured business credit cards are used as tools in managing and distributing the finances of the company more effectively.

I have nothing against the poor. Just like I have nothing against the rich. That is why I think that EVERYBODY should pay the same equal percentage of their income towards taxes. Unless of course you don't think FAIR is actually FAIR.
