🐖 Spending tips

Why you should never put personal purchases on a business credit card

Have you ever purchased personal items with your business credit card? 😶 If yes, you might want to reconsider it. Here’s why:

1. It complicates expense tracking and taxes

You’ll need to report all business income and deduct expenses. Mixing in personal purchases makes deductions harder to manage.

2. It puts your personal assets at risk

Blurring the line between business and professional expenses is risky. It can weaken your legal protection, risking your personal assets in a lawsuit.

3. It makes it hard to understand your profits

Mixing business and personal expenses is like mixing oil and water – creating confusion and making it hard to track your business’s financial health.

Conclusion: Use your company credit card only for business expenses. 💳

They are time-consuming and tedious. The inefficiency of filling reports manually is annoying for everyone. Here’s why:

The business travel industry is set to grow in the coming years, according to a Mastercard Travel Report. So, while expense reports aren’t going away, they can become easier.

Our advice: It’s time you stop entering expense reports manually. Take control of business travel expenses with an efficient expense tool instead. 👌
