New business card

Options
Hi, I've just registered a new business with companies house and I want to build the company credit, so I'm thinking that a credit card is probably the best way to start?
Is this the best way?
Who should I apply with? 
Thanks..

    Why do you want to build up the credit?

    Lending to businesses tend to be a bit less automated and a bit more considered... given how much easier it is to walk away from debt then getting credit, without director guarantees are significantly more difficult to get. If you are willing to put your personal finances on the line then there is little point

    Does your business current account provider offer credit? If so I would try them first.
    i suspect most credit providers will need your business to have a UK current account, so as you are building up your credit rating, I would try your current account provider.
