Where can I apply for a credit card to establish business credit without using my personal credit?
Question:
Answer:
Hi Angela,
There are credit cards specifically for business. In fact, some require that purchases are for business purposes only, especially the rebate cards.
Even for non business credit cards, you can apply for the card using your business name and business federal tax ID. If you don't have one, you need to incorporate or establish an LLC. Many times you can do this free online with on your state's website.
I'd highly recommend getting a rebate card. They cost no more than regular business cards in many cases. And of course, you'll earn a rebate. Business purchases many times are much more than personal purchases, and you can earn hundreds or thousands of dollars in rebates annually.
I found a site that did the work for me of which card is best at http://www.lendersrated.com/creditcards.
I hope this helps you.

You have to show you'r ID, and you'r credit history! Why don't you want to use you'r personal history?
Working from the assumption that you are establishing a new business-
Hopefully you have a bank with which you have a personal relationship, and many years of experience in the business area you are seeking credit for.
If not- do what I did-work part-time, build a nest egg, and go do it on cash-that's the best credit of all. Good luck
