What should I consider in a small business credit card?

When looking for a small business credit card, consider your company’s spending habits: Do employees travel often? If so, it may make sense to consider a card that offers travel rewards and benefits that align with your business needs and preferences. If you buy advertising or spend on food delivery for workers staying late, for example, you may want to consider a card that offers rewards or statement credits in these categories.
