Online shopping and my business credit card have really made being self-employed such a good deal. I am always on the go, so when I have some time at airports I pop on to my laptop and take care of business. I can order office supplies, client gifts and plane tickets and pay for them all using my credit card. I don’t want to think about how much of a hassle it would be to not have a list of online business that would not accept payments online. It is hard to think that I would do any business with a site that did not offer merchant account services.
