Business credit card for new company

in Credit cards
I'm hoping to get a business credit card for my UK limited company. The problem is that my company was only formed last week so I need to find one that doesn't require me to have been operating for longer.
It's also very important for it to have 0% on foreign transactions as almost all of my transactions are in other currencies. Rewards/cashback would be a bonus but not essential at this stage.
Capital on Tap seems good but they require me to have been trading for 3 months. AmEx seems to have high foreign transaction fees.
Can anyone recommend any cards? It's not a problem if they need to assess my personal credit history. If there's nothing I can apply for immediately then maybe there's something that requires less than 3 months?

Can you not buy the items as a director personally and then expense them to the company? Appreciate this can create a VAT reclaim issue but as a newly formed company you presumably aren't VAT registered yet anyway.0
