Credit funding and its pitfalls

Wendy Fergerson was able to get her business Integrated Printing Solutions off the ground by using large infusions of borrowed money, up to $60,000 a month in her first three years of operation.
Keys to her success included a sterling credit rating and a steady business revenue that allowed her to pay down credit card debt immediately without interest.
As mentioned earlier this month, a couple of important points must be considered when funding your business with plastic. They include:
>• Keep business and personal cards separate. Don't use your personal cards to pay for business expenses or you will put your personal credit at risk
• Resist the allure - don't get too many credit cards. Limiting yourself to one or two cards for your business makes tracking spending easier
• Know your credit history. Making sure your credit report is correct and up-to-date could make the difference not only in whether you get the card or not but at what rate.
