Do business credit cards affect personal credit?

Quick Answer

Yes — applying triggers a hard pull on personal credit and most issuers require a personal guarantee. But only Capital One and Discover routinely report ongoing balances to personal bureaus; Chase, Amex, Citi, and US Bank don’t unless you default.
