Question

i want to start my own business, where would i get professional advice.

Answer 1

Depending on the type of small business you want to start, you should either appeal to a small business startup coach or have a little research in the field yourself, by consulting some specific documents. If you go to any banks, you will see they have all sort of offers for self employed seeking to start their own business. I think you should first document yourself and then analyze all offers in order to choose the best one.
Also, check out the internet because the small business loan market has a lot of promotion in here and you can find a lot of info and tips on how to get a small business loan in there. Good luck!

Answer 2

A true business credit card is a line of credit that is taken in the name of the business, under the business' credit. Activity, whether good or bad, is reflected on your business' credit report through D&B and other financial institutions, and the liability for any debts incurred and bills owed is with the business.However, some companies out there offer "business" credit cards which they require a person guarantee for. These institutions will often ask for a personal guarantee, and will almost always ask for a social security number from the person applying for the card. If this is the case, the credit card is not a business credit card, but is simply a personal credit card which is used for the business. The business is not liable for bills and debts - you are.When applying for a credit card for your business, watch out for areas asking for your SSN (and not your TaxID or EIN) and be wary of any credit card that asks for a personal guarantee. By ensuring that your credit card is in the name of your business, you can help to build your business' credit, while avoiding creating problems with your own. Many companies offer a list of credit cards that are issued under the business name only. Those lists typically run $300-$900, depending on the quality of the information inquiring. I would suggest starting your search online via google or yahoo. Search for "strong business credit" (just like that in quotes) to find services that sell the information.
