May 11th, 2011 webkriti Even if you have a business that doesn’t rely on your personal credit to function, opening and using business credit cards can be a little intimidating. After all, you may have learned some hard lessons in the past where your personal credit was concerned (a situation that no doubt took some time to clear up – we’ve all been there) and you certainly don’t want to make the same mistakes with your company’s line of credit. But there are actually several benefits to using a business credit card (not the least of which is keeping your personal credit separate) as long as you go about it in the right way. Here are just a few ways to get smart when it comes to using credit cards for your small enterprise.

You can deduct the cost of your office space (whether it’s in your home or you hold a lease); the cost of paying employees, contractors, or sub-contractors; the cost of research and development; and of course, related business expenses such as entertaining clients and so on (you can even write off gifts to clients as part of the cost of doing business). But one area that many small-business owners overlook is the expense of an automobile. That is probably because this type of deduction can be negligible if you don’t have a dedicated work vehicle, which many small businesses mistakenly believe they cannot afford. But if you are self-employed or own a small business and you use a vehicle for work, even if it is just your personal vehicle, you can find ways to deduct at least a portion of the expense for mileage and maintenance. Here are a few good ways to use your vehicle as a business deduction.
