What Can You Use Credit Card Finance For? 

Small Items – A credit card is extremely useful for small items and consumables that your business requires; you can make payments quickly and conveniently. A credit card is also ideal for internet purchases, as it affords you more protection in the event that what you ordered does not arrive.

Expenses – Credit cards are good for buying items that are considered expenses (E.g.: Travel, food, accommodation, consumables, etc). Most cards are accepted all over the world, and you can order individual cards to give to trusted employees. Remember though to monitor expenses carefully and let employees know what acceptable expenses are! 

Large Items – It is still useful to have a credit card for purchasing larger items such as computer equipment and office furniture, particularly if ordering online. You need to be sure of paying the card off however, otherwise the interest can build up quickly.

Working Capital – Some businesses use credit cards for working capital finance, but this is far from an ideal use; as interest will build up quickly, particularly if cash withdrawals have been made (these generally have higher interest rates than purchases).
