At many banks, it's actually easier to get approved for a business card by pretending to
not have a business yet (ie, your name as the business name, your address as the business address, your phone as the business phone, sole proprietorship, 0 years in business, $0 annual business income, 0 employees [not counting yourself]) than by trying to give info about a real business, because with real business type answers the bank may demand proof of business or various other perhaps-hard-to-produce documentation, which they don't tend to ask for if the preceding is how you filled out your application.
