Small businesses likely to see more credit card offers
Ram Katalan, president and co-founder of NorthStar Moving Corp. in Chatsworth, uses business credit cards but is frustrated that interest rates on them rose to as much as 19% during the recession.

It’s more of a cash card than a credit card,” Katalan said.
