Best Business Credit Cards for Balance Transfers

Hi All! 

 

I'm doing research on the best business credit cards for balance transfers. Of course cards that have 0% promotional APRs are great. However, I'm also interested in those that do not have balance transfer fees. The only business credit card that does not have balance transfer fees that I've found thus far is Edward Jones. 

 

Any other strategies you can suggest as a great alternative to a balance transfer would be great as well. 

 

Thank you!

USB Business triple cash = 15mos 0%apy on BT

 

Note: Balance Transfer fee: 3% of each transfer amount, $5 minimum. (Not zero, but 3% is better than 5% and the 15mo 0%apy is better than 12mo.)

 

The USB Business Platnum is 18mo 0%apr, but also a 3% fee.

Re: Best Business Credit Cards for Balance Transfers

As for other strategies, there's x3.

 

The obvious is going the credit union business loan or bt route with a lower 2.5%apy or 0%apy promo

 

Then there is the off set way, where you simply stop using 1 biz card and start using a new biz card with 0%apy purchase and pivot all cash flow to the high balance card each month to avalanche pay it off while leveraging the new 0%apy card for current spend.

 

Then, one of my personal favorites, is a PayPal working capital loan that's based off your PayPal transaction history the last 6 months. It does not check credit and does not report to credit. It does require a business PayPal account with a minimum of 6 months transaction history to base the working capital loan off of.

 

I think my last one was $5k for 18mo. And 20% of each PayPal transaction to auto pay towards it. Had it paid off in 6 months and then the next working capital offer was for $8k, which I'll be paying off next month. The next offer should be $10k to $15k. They cap out at 25k.

 

It works for me since it doesn't report to anyone, ACH is generally processed by the next business day, and I can leverage it to pay off credit cards or loans fast for AZEO status to qualify for a better card or loan later. 

 

To each their own.

@rgate88 Thank you. I haven't see the 20 month 0% yet, but will keep looking. Although it appears that Elan cards still have balance transfer fees, it would definitely at least be nice to have 20 months instead of the shorter timeframes for many of the other 0% offers.

Re: Best Business Credit Cards for Balance Transfers

Some regional banks use Elan as well. In FLA and the Southeast, South State Bank has an Elan Business Visa with an 18-month zero-APR BT. Pretty sure it's not geofenced.
