First, there are three types of credit cards issued by American Express Canada:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Personal<\/strong>: Credit cards for individuals.<\/li>\n
  2. Business<\/strong>: Credit cards for self-employed individuals and SMEs (which is the subject of this article!)<\/li>\n
  3. Corporate<\/strong>: Credit cards for large corporations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”311533″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    As a result, business cards have a much broader audience than corporate cards (which are limited to large corporations).<\/p>\n

    Whether you are self-employed<\/a> or a small business owner, you can apply for an Amex business card as soon as you generate business income and expenses. You do not need to be incorporated to be approved for this type of card, which is very convenient for sole proprietorship owners.<\/p>\n

    When you apply, consider if you need an additional credit card<\/a> for a family member or an employee. From time to time, American Express runs promotions where you can add additional cards<\/a> to your account and earn bonus points.<\/p>\n
