 TITLE: What Is a Corporate Credit Card? CONTENT: How Do Corporate Cards Work?\n----------------------------\nRequirements vary from card issuer to card issuer, but a business will typically have to meet the following preconditions to qualify for a corporate credit card:\n*   A minimum yearly revenue\n*   A minimum in annual charges\n*   A minimum number of employees\n*   Valid registration as an LLC, S corporation or C corporation\nTo get a corporate credit card, a business typically must have a good credit score, and must provide its tax ID number, supply tax information and go through a financial audit.\nIf a business doesn't meet the requirements for a corporate card, it can apply for a business credit card as an alternative. Businesses of all sizes can qualify for one of these cards, including startups and one-person ventures.\nA big benefit of a corporate card is that it can help a business keep a lid on costs. That's because a corporate card enables a business to closely control and monitor spending. For instance, the business can restrict how much money is spent per transaction and can prevent a card from being used at certain places. The business can even set different spending limits for, say, top executives and department managers.\nThe name of the business and the individual cardholder appear on a corporate credit card. Each individual card has its own number, but they're all attached to a single corporate card account. END
