A credit card is a way to borrow money. You use a credit card to pay for purchases just like you’d use your debit card. But, unlike a debit card where you spend the money deposited in your bank, with a credit card, you’re actually borrowing the money from a credit provider to pay for your purchases.
Credit cards are typically meant for borrowing relatively small amounts of money, usually ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, although credit limits can go much higher for those on high incomes.
Credit cards give you more flexibility in borrowing money. Instead of getting a lump sum of cash with traditional loans, credit cards give you a set amount of credit, and you can borrow as much as you need, within that amount.
You can then choose to pay off the balance straight away, or in monthly instalments. If you pay via installments, you may have to pay interest on what you owe. Bear in mind, the longer you take to repay the amount, the more interest you might incur.
Business credit cards are specially-tailored to the unique needs of business owners. They make it easier for small business owners to separate business transactions from personal transactions giving them more control and visibility over the business’s spending. Some business cards may also offer rewards you can use for virtually free travel, expense management, and credit to grow your business.
When applying for a business card, you might need to fulfil some criteria.

Eligibility criteria specific to AMEX business cards
Spending Limit:
A credit card has a pre-set spending limit unlike a charge card which has no pre-set spending limit. However that does not mean you can spend unlimited with a charge card. The amount of purchases you can make with a charge cards are based on several factors and can be adjusted with time.
Repayments:
In the case of a credit card, you can choose to pay the whole balance in one go or make payments over time. There is usually a minimum amount you have to pay at the end of the month and any deferred payments will likely incur interest charges. In the case of a charge card, you have to make the full payment at the end of each month.
