## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the best business card for autonomos in Spain?

In the research's ranking, Finom Solo leads (83/100) with a free Solo plan for one autonomo, confirmed on its pricing page in October 2026. Qonto suits autonomos who want IVA-aware receipt capture, and N26 Business suits those already using N26.

### Can an SL company get a business credit card in Spain?

The fintech cards here are prefunded, not credit. For a credit line, an SL has to go to a bank such as BBVA, CaixaBank or Santander in branch, and none publishes its business card pricing.

### Do Spanish business cards need a personal guarantee?

Prefunded cards such as Finom do not, because you spend your own balance. American Express business cards typically ask small companies and autonomos for a personal guarantee.
