You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a great small business credit card. In fact, there are plenty of cards for small businesses that offer generous rewards and valuable benefits, with no annual fee. Also, these cards come with all the same expense tracking and reporting features found on the issuer’s premium cards that cost hundreds of dollars a year.
The Case for No-Fee Business Credit Cards
The small business credit cards that have pricey annual fees are typically the ones that offer premium travel rewards and benefits. These cards are great for road warriors, but many businesses operate entirely within their community, and their owners have little or no need for these travel perks. And while most of the premium small business credit cards offer rewards in the form of airline miles or hotel points that can be difficult to use, the no-fee cards typically return good old cash back that’s simple to redeem. Finally, the small business credit cards that have no annual fee and offer no rewards will typically have lower interest rates than reward cards.
