Incredible Benefits Of Having A Business Credit Card

Whether you run a sole proprietorship, self-employed professional, merchant or a freelancer; you can benefit from using a business Credit Card in many ways. In essence, a business Credit Card is akin to a personal Credit Card, except it’s for business expenses. 

Let’s look at how you can benefit from a business Credit Card:

1. Build company credit 
   A business Credit Card gives your business the opportunity to build a good credit score. A good credit score is beneficial and crucial for future growth and helps qualify for other financing options such as loans.
2. Increase the cash flow of your business
   Irrespective of the nature of your business or its size, cash flow is extremely important and a priority. With a business Credit Card, you can easily open up a line of credit for your business and increase cash flow. You can purchase supplies, materials, equipment etc., at ease and enjoy a relaxed payment period. 
   Furthermore, the higher the income of your business, the higher your credit limit, which gives you more room to improve cash flow. 
3. Helps keep your business and personal expenses separate
   It’s easy and convenient to swipe one Credit Card for both your personal and business expenses. But from a good bookkeeping point of view, you should keep both expenses separate. This is especially helpful during tax season; not only does it get computed separately, but it also doesn’t leave your accountant sifting through numerous transactions and sorting them out. And more than anything, it makes tracking expenses easy. 
4. Enjoy loyalty points, rewards, CashBack and other perks
   Compared to a personal Credit Card, a business Credit Card comes with an assortment of perks, rewards, CashBack, loyalty points, etc.

For instance, HDFC Bank Business Credit Card gives you the following advantages: 

• Reward Points for every Rs 150 you spend
• Government and tax payments, utility and telecom bills offer 5% CashBack 
• If you’re a current account holder, then you get double CashBack on essential expenses like Government and tax payments, utility and telecom bills, etc. 
• If you are a HDFC Bank Merchant customer, you can get a monthly cashback of upto Rs. 1000 by using your business credit card
• Other perks include complimentary lounge access, fuel surcharge waiver, dining benefits, Reward Points on hotel and airline booking, bonus points as welcome and milestone offer. 
• Exclusive SmartBuy Portal for offers and Reward redemption
• EasyEMI options on high value and bulk purchases

5. Keep tabs on spends 

A Business Credit Card lets you keep track of purchases and expenditures anyone makes using the online portal. Similarly, rather than handing cash which can easily go unaccounted for, a business Credit Card helps you keep tabs on how much is spent and on what.
