Need help!

Hello everybody, I need some help with some info.

I am thinking of opening my own business, does anybody know how much do credit card companies charge you and how much time does it take for them to actually make the transaction to my account?
(The product will be computers).

And another doubt, do people in the UK usually when using there credit cards pay in one payment or do they tend to pay in several quotas?

Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
jolly

    They charge anything between 1 and 5% of transactions totals, and usually the balance is cleared to your account a week after payment being taken.

    People do usually pay for stuff in one payment when using credit cards.
