Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C)Business credit cards can be a viable source of very short-term financing if the company can expect to pay off the balance within a month, thus avoiding potentially high interest charges. If the money can't be repaid within a month (Choice B), then family members (Choice A)who might be the source of short-term loans would be preferable to a credit card advance. The line of credit from a credit card is without interest for only a very limited time-usually a month, or less, depending on the card (Choice D). Choice E:Having collateral would strengthen the case that the company could obtain a bank loan, in which case it would not need to use a credit card.
