Increase Your Cash Flow & Finance Purchases - Here's How

Not many entrepreneurs know that a credit card can be good for your business, BUT only if you know how to use it. The biggest benefit of the credit is it can help to boost your cash flow by providing immediate access to financing for your business's short-term needs, such as paying your vendors or suppliers on time, while you wait for revenue to come in.

*** Looking for a Business Credit Card? We've compared the Top 4 Business Credit Cards, including Standard Bank, FNB, etc.: Top Business Credit Cards for Small Businesses in South Africa***Here's How to make the best of your credit card:

  • Make use of the interest-free days – to save money, and pay off the balance before the end of the interest-free period.

  • Plan your spending – it will help if you know exactly how much revenue is expected to come into the business over the next 15, 30, 60, and 90 days.

  • Track your everyday business expenses like rent, utilities, and freelance contractors.

  • Have multiple cards on the same account so that you can manage employee expense claims and other expenses for the office separately.
