Business Credit Card
After opening your business bank account (and getting a debit card), you may also want to get a credit card for your LLC.
Business credit cards offer more rewards than just a debit card, such as cashback and travel.
Getting a business credit card also help builds your LLC’s credit history, which is separate from your own personal credit.
When applying for an LLC credit card, you will need:
- Federal Tax ID Number (aka EIN)
- your social security number
- business address

Hi Matt,
Can a foreigner apply for an LLC credit card?
Hi Frank, I believe so, but not 100% sure. I think you’ll need an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number). I think there are companies that help foreigners build credit history, but I don’t know anything about this space yet. Proceed with caution though as their could be some shady companies out there. I’d say the best way to go about it is open a business account and a personal account at the bank (in the state where you for your LLC). Then after you establish some history with them, visit the brach in person and ask about obtaining a credit card. Hope that helps. Feel free to keep me posted. I’m curious to hear what you come with.
Great website. Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome Sam! Thanks for the nice comment :)
Hi Matt,
I loved your website! Very helpful information! :)
My question is if in there was no operating agreement because when the LLC formed is was only one person. But in the taxes my husband added him self as 50% of ownership would I have to make him sign a withdraw document?
Hi Delores, thanks so much! A situation like this is much better presented to an attorney. It’s not something we can get into as there are a handful of additional details and nuances that would need to be uncovered. Thanks for your understanding.
what do I need to do to add a partner in an existing llc
Hi Kenny, you’ll want to review the Operating Agreement to check procedure for adding an LLC Member. Usually it goes as follows: review Operating Agreement, prepare Assignment of Membership Interest Agreement, amend Operating Agreement, amend Articles of Organization (if applicable), notify IRS if change in tax classification, update state Department of Revenue, and update bank. Hope that helps.
