Do you think parking some extra cash in my checking account would help or do I need a business checking/savings/CD?
You either need to scour the last year or two of posts in this thread to see if there's any datapoints about that, or just try it. I don't remember any in recent months, but I can't say for there weren't any in the past year or two (before I started considering it).

There's generally not enough datapoints about this, because so few people apply for BofA business cards and report in detail on it here, and because BofA doesn't treat every application (even from the same person months later) the same.

But why are you so worried about one "wasted" pull? Most banks don't care that much about one extra pull (which might not be on the same bureau that another bank will pull, in which case it would be invisible). As long as it's just "one" wasted pull, and not a big set of "wasted" pulls in a short time, id on't see why it would matter so much.
