Not all businesses can get approved for a line of credit or unsecured business credit card. Whether it’s due to limited credit or negative credit or little to no business credit, a prepaid business credit card offers an ideal solution.

With a pay-as-you-go option, the prepaid business credit card puts every small business on the right path to obtaining an unsecured business line of credit. Best of all, this particular card helps build your business credit.
