How do Fuel Cards for Small Business Work?
Fuel cards for small businesses are a convenient and efficient way to manage fuel expenses. These specialised cards function similarly to credit cards but are specifically designed for purchasing fuel. With a small business fuel card, business owners can streamline their fuel purchases and gain better control over their expenses.
The way these fuel cards work is simple. Business owners provide employees with a fuel card that they can use at designated gas stations or fueling locations. When an employee uses the card, the transaction details are recorded electronically, making it easier to track and monitor fuel expenses. This eliminates the need for employees to pay out-of-pocket and submit expense reports later on.
