Business credit card

Offer facts
Reward points, described as £75 cashback equivalent by Capital on Tap
Apply only if you live in the UK and are an active director or a majority shareholder owning at least 25% of an active UK-registered Ltd, LLP or PLC listed as active on Companies House, and neither you nor the business has had an unsatisfied CCJ in the last 12 months. There is no minimum trading history or turnover. At application, a standard personal-file soft search has no score impact and is not visible to other lenders; no visible business-file hard search occurs until the credit agreement is signed, when it can be visible to other lenders. That removes a potential reason for an eligible business not to apply, but the signed-agreement search still matters.
- 7,500 bonus reward points for eligible new customers completing a qualifying transaction under the current promotion terms
- 1% cashback on eligible card spend, subject to product terms
- No annual fee on the free card; credit approval, rates and product conditions apply
