Business credit cards are pretty much like their consumer brethren except that you get a different pool of offers, you have to fill out a business name and information when signing up (see below), and the cards often have the word 'business' tacked on at the end.

Below I have an ongoing list of some of the better business credit card deals out there. I base my selections on signup bonuses, reward programs, and sometimes some other criteria. I don't really focus on standard APR  because I always pay off my balance in full whenever possible. It's just not one of the things I look for when choosing a new card. If you keep a running balance then I would suggest looking through these cards for the ones with the lowest annual percentage rate. Oh, and one more thing: no annual fees. For most people cards with annual fees aren't worth it—you can always find something that has the same or better benefits for free.

* Business Credit Cards: Remember that any individual can sign up for a business card—not just those with businesses. Just use your own name under the 'Business Name' field when applying for the card. They will just sign you up as a proprietorship (a single-owner business).
