Business credit cards will give you extra capital, rewards, and other perks. However, some of these cards have strict requirements and annual fees. You may need a good business credit score and multiple years of business experience to get certain cards. 

While some cards are hard to get, others are straightforward. It’s possible to get a business credit card with a good FICO score alone. Credit card issuers have cards that cater to startups and people who want to test out their businesses before investing significant capital. This guide will unveil some of the easiest business credit cards to get.

What are the easiest business credit cards to get?

Secured business credit cards, like the First National Bank of Omaha Business Edition Secured Mastercard, are the easiest business credit cards you can get. This is because these cards don’t require a strong credit score or personal guarantee–instead, you put down a security deposit that becomes your credit limit. If you have bad credit, a secured card can help you build up your score.

Corporate charge cards are another type of business credit card that can be easy to get, provided that you have steady business revenue. These cards don’t require a personal credit check or personal guarantee. Unlike traditional business credit cards, they come with built-in expense management software. They also have no interest charges because they require full balance payments each month.

FAQ
Can I use my EIN to get a credit card?
Yes, you can use an Employer Identification Number (EIN) to apply for a business credit card, but your options will be limited to corporate cards. These cards approve based on business revenue and don’t require your Social Security Number (SSN) or a personal guarantee.

Can you get a business credit card immediately?

It’s possible to get a business credit card immediately after the application process, especially if you apply for a virtual card. However, most lenders will have to check your credit report via the credit bureaus before you receive an approval decision.

Is it hard to get a business credit card with an LLC?

As an LLC, you can get a business credit card using either your EIN or SSN, depending on what kind of card you choose. If you go with a traditional small business credit card, you’ll need a strong personal credit score and will have to put up a personal guarantee. If you choose a corporate card provider, you can apply without providing your SSN for a credit check, but you’ll need to have enough business revenue in a bank account to qualify.

What credit score do you need for a business credit card?

Many of the best business credit cards require a good to excellent personal credit score—typically 690 or above. A good credit score is especially important for startups and small businesses that don’t have a strong credit history. Learn how you can build business credit with bad personal credit in our comprehensive article on the subject.
