Using Business Credit Cards Effectively
Obtaining business credit cards is one early step towards building your business credit. This is not the same as using your personal credit to obtain a credit card with your business name on it.
Obtaining a business credit card relies on your business credit information, not on your personal credit information.When you are beginning your business, you will probably need to use your personal credit.
After you have fulfilled certain basics, your business should rely on itself for credit.These basics include incorporating your business as a legal business entity. This does not include DBAs (individuals Doing Business As company x). Consult a local business attorney about incorporations are available in your state.
Another basic for building business credit is establishing a business phone that matches your business address in the national 411 directory. Having a “Home Office” address are okay, too. Just make sure you are listed as a business in 411 and that your information is correct at the state and county levels. Always give lenders this same information.
The last basic step involves building credit with your vendors. If you are in the service industry, you can develop accounts with your office supply, Internet, and phone service providers. Otherwise, get a credit account with your suppliers that you may already be using.
Now you are ready to apply for a business credit card. Use all business information on the business credit card application. Use business sales numbers, list other business assets and liabilities. Use the Debt To Income Ratios that are in the 10 Steps To Money System to ensure accurate figures that the bank will approve.
List business creditors (your vendors) and use business references. Simply put, make your business stand on its own when obtaining business credit.
Once you have a business credit card or two, use them for business expenses only. Carry some balance on them month-to-month, but plan on paying almost all of it off monthly.
Do not use your business credit card to purchase items for which you could otherwise obtain business financing. Your long-term goal should be to establish solid overall credit for your business.Establishing solid credit for your business is relatively easy to do if you start by following the three steps above. Then get business credit cards to further build your business’s credit.
With good business credit as your foundation, you are now ready to get a business line of credit that does not depend on your personal credit.While a business credit card is a great tool for using credit for business purposes, as with any tool, use your business credit card wisely and it will serve your business well.

A Financial Boost Towards Your Business Dream
What would you do with an additional $30,000, $50,000 or $100,000 or even more in business capital?
Would you buy that equipment your business desperately needs?
Would you hire that assistant so you wouldn’t have to work 70+ hours a week and on weekends?
Would you pay off some bills? Taxes perhaps?
Would you launch an advertising campaign to bring in more customers or clients?
Would you buy residential or commercial property?
Is the lack of small business credit holding you back from growing your business or perhaps the thought of even starting a new business?
What would you do with an extra 30, 50, $100,000 or more in your bank account right now or the availability of a line of business funding (credit)?
While you may think this is an impossible dream, the reality of having a business credit line may be much closer than you think. The key to having this kind of extra money ready to spend for your business is in knowing the secrets to be able to acquire these business lines of credit.
Securing business lines of credit or funding can seem daunting when you are first starting on this path, but with a few small steps, and a little patience, you will be able to secure the money you, your business and family deserve.
The first thing you need to do is make sure your business has it's own credit profile and history. What we need to do is to build your business credit up enough were your personal credit becomes obsolete.
My 10 Steps To Money System assists you in making that separation between personal and business credit. The goal is to rely and build your business credit more than your personal credit. You as a business can borrow a lot more than you can as a person.
It's time to do a credit check on your business. Pull your business' Dun & Bradstreet Credit Profile and see what it says about your business, banks already know. Don’t have a D&B Credit Profile for your company? A D&B Credit Profile is your business’s credit report, just like your personal credit report is for you. You need to get one!
As you build credit for your business, you will suddenly find a new world is open to you. Instead of having to pay with cash or capital for each purchase you have to make, you will instead be able to use business lines of credit and pay as you go. This means you will have money, ready to go, when you need it, but don't have to use it (or pay interest on it) until that time comes. This is the way large businesses work, why shouldn't you be using their business credit line tricks?
While you may be thinking you can get the same thing by having a personal credit card, you'd be wrong. Unlike a personal credit card, a business line of credit, whether through a bank, or credit card company (such as the Open American Express card), will be giving perks for being a business account. Some of those perks can include convenience checks. Sure, you've seen those with your personal credit card, but when you use 'cash advance checks' with your card, it will cost a fortune. Business accounts often come with 'convenience checks' that do not come with the same penalty fees and charges for usage.
While these two tips may seem relatively simple and basic, establishing your own business credit, and a business line of credit can help you take major strides towards starting or growing your dream business.

Businesses try to get customers atwitter by using networking sites, blogs
When you think of a business that might have a profile on an online social networking site such as Facebook and MySpace, Pontiac-based Curve Detroit is the kind of company that comes to mind — a hip, 30-something ad agency with the sort of puckish sense of humor that leads founding partner Charlie Wollborg to give his official title as “chief troublemaker.”
With a company Web site now de rigueur, small-business owners such as Wollborg are expanding into social networking arenas, building online communities to identify and attract customers, showcase offerings and test-market products.
Curve's employees have been early adopters of the various media referred to as Web 2.0, embracing blogging alongside free networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and microblogging site Twitter, Wollborg said.
“We're now at the point where we're getting a new invite (to a social networking platform) each week,” he said. “We tend to set up a profile but do not do much with most of them.”
Key, he said, is choosing the sites most likely to attract the customers who fit your business.
..
I think that I would rather have companies doing this type of marketing than the phone calls at dinnertime. This is also a great way for the company to connect with its clients and with potential clients as well.
In my company we are employing these ways of concepts as well, not only are we learning as we go it is a learning experience for my clients as well, so we find ourselves learning together.
You can read the rest of the article at:
http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article/20080721/SUB/807210335
What do you think? Is your company doing any of these Web 2.0 strategies? Do you think that this is a way for companies to market?
