Here’s a look at the current offers on Barclays’ small business credit cards and the benefits offered by the cards.

Bottom line
It’s always great to see elevated welcome offers, especially for cards targeted toward small businesses. You may be surprised to find out that you qualify for a business credit card if you’re a freelancer, independent contractor or even make purchases that your job reimburses you for on a regular basis.
However, if you’re interested in any of these cards, make sure to check out our guide to credit card application rules to maximize your chances of approval.
In terms of value, the Aviator Business Card’s welcome offer is worth the most right now, but any of these cards could be great options for your business spending. We don’t know how long these offers will last, but they won’t stick around forever.
