I need some advice. I own my own business for about 4 months. I’m a 21 year old self employed web developer, and I’ve never had any credit. I make between $750-1200 a week and I hope to get a very small credit line to prove that I can pay my payment early every month. I don’t need a consumer card to purchase from websites, maybe just a gas card or something that could help me to build credit. Do you by chance have any advice for me?

The content is accurate at the time of publication and is subject to change.

Cards for people with no or limited credit history would be a good fit for you. You will be able to start building your credit history because your credit activity will be reported to the major credit bureaus. Usually credit card issuers do not give a high credit limit to people without credit history. The amount of the credit limit is based on the individual’s creditworthiness.
