While carrying around a small business credit card can help cardholders' business, due to recent practices adopted by some card issuers, it may unfortunately also hurt their credit score.

Card issuers have recently introduced a new breed of credit cards on the market: professional credit cards. Is it something one should look at?

A recent study commissioned by the American Bankers Association suggests that small business credit cards act as important sources of credit for small businesses and help boost new job creation.

When it comes to selecting the best business credit cards, the fine print is king. Most business credit cards offer similar introductory terms, such as 0 percent APR on balance transfers and purchases.

Most credit cardholders could breathe a sigh of relief as the last consumer protections of the Credit CARD Act of 2009 stepped into effect at the end of February this year. Business cardholders, however, were left holding credit cards with the same old rules.
