Best Business Credit Cards

Business Credit Cards: Are You Eligible?

If you have a full on business with an EIN, then obviously yes, you can get a business credit card. Skip to the cards. But what if you don’t?

1) You do need to conduct business outside of a day job to get business credit cards. You are not eligible if you have a salaried position and no other income.

2) A side hustle counts. If you consult on the side, then you qualify for a business credit card. If you sell things on eBay or Craigslist, you qualify. If you sell goods or services anywhere, you qualify!

3) Note that if you do not have a registered business name and an EIN, you must apply in a very specific way, described below. Pay careful attention or you will be declined for a business credit card. 

Apply as follows:

• Your business name is just your real name. If you are “Jim Q Smith” on your personal credit cards, then put “John Paul Smith” as your name and “Jim Q Smith” again as your Business name. DO NOT MAKE UP A BUSINESS NAME.

• Your Tax ID number is your Social Security Number.

• Your business income will be the amount you make or expect to make from your side business.

• Do *not* include other income (such as investment income) etc, unless it is part of your business.
