    Best credit card for small business?

    Barclay Card is among the best. I have been using it for a couple of years now and there is no reason to complain! Even the interest rate is low compared to the other cards. How much are you expecting to spend monthly with this card? I suggest you keep a specific limit in mind to avoid...

    Business Bank Account Needed for Partnership?

    Keep a separate account solely for use with your business. If you are a start-up then there some really good banks like HSBC and Barclays which do not charge anything for small businesses throughout life. Best part is, they even encourage online transactions.
