Business credit card rules may allow some self-employed applicants
In short
Freelancers, consultants and self-employed people may be able to get a business credit card even without a registered company. The rules depend on the card issuer, income proof, business activity and paperwork.
This matters because approval is not automatic, and the exact issuer rules are not stated in the available reporting.
