Capital One Spark Cash for Business Review

As you know I’m a big advocate for getting business credit cards that only report to the business credit reporting agencies. That’s why I’m so passionate about our Unsecured Business Credit Lines program because it’s specifically designed to help you acquire 4-5 business credit cards that report only to the business credit agencies not personal credit.

However, another type of card that is important for you to be knowledgeable about are business credit cards that build your business credit but also report to your personal credit as well.

In today’s post, we are going to review one of those types of business credit cards that reports to both personal and business credit reporting agencies: The Capital One® Spark® Cash for Business card.

The Capital One® Spark® Cash for Business card is one of the best and easiest business rewards credit card programs out there.  In a nutshell, if you want to earn money back on your business expenses then this card may be a card worth checking into to.

What first got my attention is the incentive for opening this card. You get a welcome offer of $500 if you spend $4,500 in the first three months. But what was even more exciting was the 2% cash back on every dollar you spend.

So, in the first 3 months of having this card you can get a total of $590 cash back from the $4,500 spent. A $500 bonus + $90 cash back reward. Not bad at all!

Having trouble determining what is a DUNS Number used for? what is a duns number used for

In today’s post, we’ll go over ten ways a DUNS Number is used and how it can benefit your company. Whether you’re a startup or existing business in search for credit or funding, a B2B business, a manufacturer wanting to win contracts, a supplier selling goods, or a construction company; after reading this post you’ll know exactly why the D-U-N-S® Number is so important.

First, let’s go over the difference between your EIN (Employer Identification Number) and a DUNS Number (Data Universal Numbering System). Although each of these are 9-digit numbers that identify a business they are not the same and they are used for different purposes.

An EIN Number is issued by the IRS to identify taxpayers who are required to file business tax returns. This 9-digit number is how the IRS identifies your business. In addition to filing taxes, you also use your EIN to open a business bank account, apply for business credit, and apply for business permits.

The D-U-N-S® Number is also a 9-digit number but it’s issued by Dun & Bradstreet, for business credit reporting purposes. The DUNS Number is linked to your company’s business credit profile with D&B; which is used by lenders, suppliers and potential business partners to help determine if a company is creditworthy and/or financially stable.
