Research: 4 features that assist business with credit card - Credit-Land.com

Credit card is not just for individual expenses. Credit card can be used as a tool to do business as well. In fact, there are some card issuers which offer some wonderful features to help small business owners manage their business to great effectiveness.

Expenditure report

Getting an expenditure report every month has two benefits from the perspective of a small business owner. Firstly it offers a written record for all the payments you have made at various other places or for various purposes. Sometimes, the number of these payments could be a lot considering various business reasons. Having an expense report, show you all these expenses, which is great for your records. The second important thing is to observe patterns of spending. Often you tend to leak money at various points which could have been avoided. The adjustments in dates to avail certain rebates at wholesale prices, the venue for purchases which can be made more effective and efficient are all indicated by the expenses report that comes at the end of the month.

Tackling Fraud

There are a lot of new credit card rules and regulations which protect the customers from the liability of fraud. Since the credit card usage by business owners is expected to be quite high, it wouldn`t be a surprise if cyber thieves or card data thieves get hold of these details. If fraud happens on a credit card, the business owners don`t need to spend sleepless nights as they don`t have to pay for it and the liability coverage will always take care. Therefore, credit cards are safer compared to payments through debit cards. At the same time they offer a far better option than carrying cash with you all the time.

Add-on credit cards

Some credit cards come with the benefit of add-on cards for the employees. Small business owners and the employees can benefit from these cards. While the employees could get a credit card, without really having to show their credit history or income, the business owners will benefit through rebates on their cards depending on the card usage of the employees. So as long as the business owners are comfortable with some of their employees` consistency, it is a win-win situation for both of them.

Special payment plans

Time to time, small business owners make massive purchases. There are special payments plans in such cases to ensure a manageable repayment.
