Hey! It's Destyni, your Rich Lash Tech, here to help you level up your business game. Today, I'm excited to share some valuable tips on how to get a business credit card even if you're just starting out with no existing business credit. Trust me, I've been there, and I know how important it is to have the right tools to grow your business. So, let's dive right in!
Setting Up Your Business for Success
Before we talk about the credit card, let's make sure you've got your business set up correctly. These steps will not only make you look more professional but also increase your chances of getting approved for that business credit card.
1. Purchase a Domain Name
First things first, you need a professional web address. Head over to GoDaddy.com and purchase a domain name for your business. This gives you an online presence and makes you look legit.
2. Get a Business Email Address
Next, you want to set up a business email address. You can do this with GoDaddy as well. Your email should look something like hello@mylashstudio.com. Using a domain-specific email instead of a generic one makes a huge difference in how professional you appear.
3. Secure a Business Phone Number
A dedicated business phone number is essential. My favorite service for this is Grasshopper. It helps you keep your personal and business calls separate and gives your business that extra touch of professionalism.
4. Get a Virtual Address
If you're working from home and don't want to use your personal address, get a virtual address through iPostal1.com. This adds another layer of professionalism and helps protect your privacy.
5. Obtain Your Articles of Incorporation
It's time to get official! Form your LLC and get an EIN number. This is crucial for legal recognition and necessary for many business transactions.
6. List Your Business on Major Search Engines
Finally, list your business on all major search engines using ListYourself.net. This makes it easier for potential clients to find you and adds to your business’s legitimacy.
The Good Part: Applying for a Business Credit Card
Now that you've got your business set up, let's talk about that business credit card. When you apply, make sure you list all the information exactly as it appears on your Articles of Incorporation. Consistency is key here.
The card I recommend is the Capital One Spark Classic for Business. This card is fantastic for those just starting out because it gives you 2% cash back and helps you build business credit even if you don’t have any yet.
