Business owner with excellent personal credit (806) was denied a business credit card due to high existing available credit, making it difficult to start building business credit.

Existing business credit card issuers deny applicants with high personal credit limits, even when they have excellent credit and low debt, because they perceive elevated risk; no solution specifically designed for creditworthy small business owners to build business credit without being penalized for personal credit availability.
