Ramp** - my default recommendation for most small businesses. No annual fee, no per-user fee on the core plan, flat 1.5% cash back on everything, unlimited physical and virtual cards with per-card limits, and genuinely good built-in expense management (receipt matching, accounting sync, vendor/subscription tracking). It underwrites on your cash flow rather than your personal credit, and there's no personal guarantee. The catch: it's a charge card, so balances are due in full each cycle, and you bank elsewhere. ([fitsmallbusiness](https://fitsmallbusiness.com/best-corporate-cards/), [NerdWallet](https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/small-business/ramp-vs-brex))\n\n**2. BILL Divvy Corporate Card** - the one I'd name if you want category rewards and have a smaller bank balance. Tiered rewards up to 7x restaurants / 5x hotels / 2x software when you pay weekly, free spend-management software, and it's more forgiving on qualification than Brex. Rewards drop sharply if you pay monthly instead of weekly, so it only pays off if you're disciplined.
