    You could be a sole trader, working for yourself. Most likely the business name could be your own name



    What if your business expenses involve buying goods from supermarkets? Lots of goods bought from supermarkets, especially larger ones could be used for business expenses e.g. cafe owners may bulk buy certain supplies (such as oil, canned drinks, coffee), taxi drivers buy their fuel, (Tesco also do tyres!), they also sell stationery, computers and other electronic equipment.

    That's food for thought indeed!

    However I don't have an income of 20k+

    I rang up Capitol One to ask what is defined as business expenses for the Aspire Business card and was told that's just a name, you can still use the card for personal use and still get cashback.

    I rang up a second time and was told it's for business expenses only (as stated on the website), and won't pay cashback for shops and supermarkets.

    Can anyone who has this card clarify?

    Thanks
    I have the Cap1 Aspire Business Card, that I applied for when I set up my Ltd company. I use it for Business expenses mostly, but that sometimes includes things I buy in shops. I have so far received my 5% cash back. How are Cap1 one to know which of my purchases is a business or personal expense unless I itemise each charge?
