3 Ways To Get Approved For A Business Credit Card

 If you run your own business--whether it's a retail store, direct sales, hobby shop or freelance consulting--chances are you've thought about getting a business credit card. It's probably a good idea, since it makes it easy for you to separate your business expenses from your home expenses, a task that helps keep your paperwork organized and simplifies things at tax time. When you're ready to apply for a business card, follow this checklist:


1. Choose a card


Some cards offer special deals, financing or rewards for small business owners. For example, some rebate cards offer you a percentage back on everything you buy at a certain store, like a warehouse store or online store. Other cards offer cash rebates when you spend at supermarkets, gas stations or home improvement stores. If you travel often, a frequent flier or travel rewards card might get you the best and biggest bonuses. Choosing the right reward card--depending on the type of business you operate and the expenses you incur--can mean extra money in your pocket all year long.


2. Gather up paperwork


You'll need basic information about your company's financial situation, including the name of your business, the tax identification number, the business address, the number of years you've been an owner, the number of employees, the nature of the business, the business' average annual income, and the amount in the business' checking account. You'll also need to know the legal entity of your business, such as whether it's a sole proprietorship, a corporation, a partnership, a non-profit, etc.


3. Fill out the application


You can find applications for almost all business credit cards online, although in most cases you can also call and apply over the phone (a good idea if you have any questions). Depending on your credit rating, you may have to provide extra documentation of your business' current financial status, so be prepared to mail or fax information if requested. After you fill out the application, approval can take anywhere from thirty seconds to a month.


To find business credit cards online, do an Internet search or check the websites of major credit card companies.

A Guide to Online Classifieds

 Some naysayers way back in the 1990s predicted that online shopping wouldn’t last. Sure, and they said television was a passing fad, too! As we all know, just the opposite has occurred. There’s a television in every household, and more than likely, the homeowner bought their television online—along with his books, music CDs, clothes, and maybe even his home. Internet shopping is bigger than ever. You can find anything and everything for sale online. Many times, you can find it cheaper online than anywhere else. Internet shopping offers so much more than a discounted price tag, though. Imagine a shopping mall where there are no lines, where there are no jammed parking garages, and no pushy sales clerks. This is no land of make believe. It is the Internet, where you can discover unprecedented selection, convenience, and opportunities.  Online shopping gives you the luxury of browsing hundreds of stores from your living room, while saving on time and frustration. It provides you...

You either use information (paper, email, whatever), file information (only if you have TIME STAMPED when you are going to use it), or throw it away completely! Some items are just not important enough to waste valuable time on.  2) <b>Magazi...

Great Reasons to Love On-Line Shopping

More and more people are shopping on-line today than ever before, especially with the holidays just around the corner.  We’re looking for gifts for our kids, gifts for our family, and gifts for our friends. But is shopping on-line safe?  Is our information secure?  Is it convenient?  For as many of those who are on-line shoppers (and I am a big on-line shopper myself), there are just as many, or more, who don’t or won’t shop on-line.  They cite various reasons for their reluctance.  Believe me, it can be scary to try new things.  So,  I  have considered the reasons for their fear and apathy and have come up with what I believe are great reasons you gotta love on-line shopping.    1.  Security Issues Many people are worried about putting their personal information out into “cyberspace”.  Personally, I feel safer on-line.  Identity theft actually occurs more in the malls and department stores than on-line according to a...
