What a business card does that a personal card does not

Separation. Business and personal expenses on separate instruments is the single largest practical benefit. It simplifies bookkeeping, supports expense claims, and matters if the business is ever reviewed.

Employee cards. Multiple cards on one account with individual limits and consolidated reporting.

Higher limits, generally, since the assessment includes business revenue.

Expense reporting integrated with accounting software on many products.

Charge cards against credit cards

An important distinction in the business market.

A charge card must be paid in full each month. There is no revolving balance and frequently no preset spending limit, with charges assessed against spending patterns and payment history instead. Because there is no revolving balance there is no purchase interest rate, so any card comparison showing an APR for a charge card is showing something that does not exist.

A business credit card revolves like a personal card, with a limit and a purchase rate.

The charge card suits a business that clears monthly and wants flexible spending capacity. The credit card suits one that occasionally needs to carry.

Personal liability is the part people miss

Most Canadian small business cards carry a personal guarantee. The business is the account holder and the owner is personally liable.

That has two consequences: the owner's personal credit is assessed on application, and business card debt can affect the owner personally if the business fails. It is not the ring-fence people assume.

Cards against a line of credit

For genuinely short-term expenses cleared monthly, a card is efficient and often rewarding.

For working capital gaps carried across weeks or months, a business line of credit costs materially less. Business card rates sit well above business line rates, and the difference across a carried balance is significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a registered business to get a business card?
Most issuers accept sole proprietors. Requirements vary by product.
Is a business card separate from my personal credit?
Not entirely. Most carry a personal guarantee and assess owner credit on application.
What is a charge card?
A card paid in full monthly, with no revolving balance and frequently no preset limit. Because it does not revolve, it has no purchase interest rate.
Should I use a card or a line of credit for working capital?
A line of credit costs materially less for balances carried beyond a month. A card is efficient for expenses cleared monthly.
