Small business owner needs to prevent or mitigate financial loss from unauthorized credit/debit card charges, given slow bank dispute processes and lack of dedicated business card controls.

Bank alerts provide notification but not prevention; dispute process takes weeks to months, leaving small businesses exposed to cash flow disruption. No purpose-built tool for real-time card monitoring, instant freezing, or spending limits for business cards.
