Re: Easiest Card for a new business?

The question on what's the "easiest" is a difficult question. There are more factors to take into consideration. What is the formation of your company (Incorporated, LLC, LLP, Sole Proprietorship, etc...). What is your credit score? Do You want rewards, if so, what?

Re: Easiest Card for a new business?

I noticed you don't want Amex not sure why but other things and banks to consider would be Citi, Cap1, Chase, US bank,credit unions.

Not sure what you're looking for much more info is needed

 

What do you need in a card ....

Inventory purchases?

Funding till invoices are paid?

Monthly bills? 

A lot of travel purchases?

Overhead?

etc etc 

 

Probably the easiest card to get is Cap1 but any card you choose should be based on spending and the rewards and benefits it offers you,

Not which is easiest to get IMHO

By far Amex and Chase have the better cards currently 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

With the business being a sole proprietorship, there's really no such thing as "Business Credit". You are the business, both finances are intertwined. With your scores, you should not have much of a problem obtaining a business card, but it will go on your credit. If you are looking for something specific, rewards based, let us know so we can try and help.

Then maybe Chase is best for you but then again I love my Amex Lowes due to the industry I'm in 

Also love my Cap1 for 2% on off categories

Chase for 5% monthly spending 

 

So figure out what category you spend the most in that will benefit you and then find the best card for that 

inventory could be Amex Plum if you need to float balances or pay early and make it a standard 1.5% card for yearly savings depending on yearly spend 

You see my point? 

Just throwing out some ideas
