RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Functions as a high-limit business line of credit with interest rates significantly lower than standard credit cards.
- No annual fee for the primary cardholder or for up to 9 authorized employee cards.
- Highly accessible for new businesses, requiring only a $15,000 minimum individual annual income.
The Trade-offs
- Does not earn any rewards points, cash back, or travel miles on business spending.
- Completely lacks travel insurance, car rental collision coverage, and mobile device protection.
- Interest rates are variable and tied to the CIBC Prime rate, meaning costs will increase if the Prime rate rises.
