Overview
Mercator Advisory Group’s latest research report, U.S. Small Business Credit Card Forecast, 2017–2022: Healthy Market, Room for Improvement, projects that small business card will approach $700 billion by 2022. The report suggests that an additional 50 percent of transactions now posted on consumer cards could instead run on small business payment cards if small business owners realize that the dedicated cards have features suitable for running a small business.
“Some small business owners prefer to use their personal credit cards for their business,” commented Brian Riley, Director, Credit Advisory Service, at Mercator Advisory Group, author of the research report. “There are some benefits to the consumer card, but when it comes to accounting for expenses and controlling usage it is hard to beat the current infrastructure,” Riley added. “Issuers might accelerate movement if they give small business owners the same protections afforded to consumers in the CARD Act.”
