Summary: IDFC FIRST Bank's Business/corporate credit card for Start-ups goes beyond credit access to give Start-ups a range of benefits. Know more about corporate cards and the difference they make for Start-ups.
Start-ups need sufficient liquid funds to meet their financial obligations and requirements. Whether it is to pay vendors, purchase raw materials and office supplies, or meet working capital needs, these funds are essential.
Being a new business, a Start-up might not have accessible funds at its disposal. Raising a business loan can prove challenging, especially with a negligible credit score. In these situations, a corporate credit card can prove to be an ideal solution. Moreover, should the card be secured, the Start-up can get it easily, even without a credit score.
Let us understand just what a corporate card is and how it helps.

Start-ups new to credit can build their credit score with their corporate card. It would establish a line of credit, and if the bills are paid regularly, the Start-up can build a good score.
With easy access to preapproved credit, Start-ups can manage their cash flow with a corporate credit card. They can use the card for credit transactions if they are short on funds.
The credit limit on a corporate card gives Start-ups access to capital for their funding needs, be it for the short or long term.
The reward program of business credit cards allows for additional benefits. Start-ups can earn reward points on their transactions and accumulate and redeem them when and where relevant. Redemption offers on a corporate card can include merchandise, discount vouchers, credit setoffs in the bill, etc.
Many cards come with a liability protection cover that safeguards against fraudulent activities should the card be stolen and misused.
With a monthly generated credit card bill, a Start-up can keep track of all relevant business expenses easily and manage its finances accordingly.
