In April 2020 Chase criteria for approving BUSINESS card applications became more stringent. All Chase INK products are business cards. Chase also issues co-branded business cards for United Airlines (2 different biz cards), Southwest Airlines (2 different biz cards), Hyatt and IHG.
Chase business cards are subject to the 5/24 restriction. Approval of a Chase business application does not increase the N/24 count, but there are a few reports in the 4th quarter of 2022 that this may have changed. Review THIS thread. There will always be some uncertainty, because 5/24 is an unpublished rule which Chase can modify without notice or explanation.
For general information about applying for Chase cards, including explanation of the unpublished 5/24 rule, please review the Wikipost of the PERSONAL card thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...ds-2023-a.html
Anyone can apply for a business card as a sole proprietor. If your business has a registered company name, which Chase can verify, you may use the name to apply. Otherwise, use your legal First and Last name as the business name. Do not add any extra words, do not use a made up name. If Chase cannot verify the name the application will fail.

Note: The automated Status Line often shows no record of business card applications. This does NOT mean that there is a problem with your application. You will need to contact Chase to learn the status, or wait for Chase to contact you.
You can use a single Username on chase.com to manage both Business and Personal card accounts, but you will initially need to set them up separately, and then telephonically ask customer service to combine them by merging the Personal account into the Business account. It cannot be done the other way. Once personal account is merged to business account, if all business cards are closed while keeping one (or more) personal cards open, online access to all cards will terminate and a new personal (online) account will need to be created using a different username than previous personal account.
Update: It is possible now to link Business and Personal accounts online. First set them up separately, then log into the Business account and follow this click path: Icon at the top right that looks like a person -> Profile & Settings -> Account Settings -> Manage Linked Accounts. Then look for the "Link relationship" option for the personal accounts. For more information on linking accounts: How to link Chase personal and business accounts?

P2 was just approved for an Ink 100K Business Preferred card but CL of only $5K (only current Biz card). The required spend is $15K in 3 months and I expect to be putting $13-15K on the card per month. Is there a way to increase the CL without an interrogation? Alternately, is there a problem with making multiple payments in a month?
If you have a legit business with legit expenses, I do no see what the concern with calling Chase will be. I have seen some people on here say that after a few month chase automatically increased their credit limit

I just closed an Ink Cash but made sure I transferred the limit from that one to my Preferred prior to closing (actually, at the same time).

If P2 has another biz card it is usually just a quick call and they are happy to reallocate credit from the other card. If this is the 1st card then your only choice may be to make mid-cycle payments. This should not be a problem so long as you are making legit charges and not MS.
This happened to me in Aug '21 for the same card and it was my first one so I couldn't transfer any CL over from another card. I just paid off the card every week to try to keep it below the 30% utilization so it wouldn't hit my credit report. Within three days of making the spend for the sign-up bonus, they doubled my CL to $10,000. It's almost as if they do this on purpose to see if we might not make the spend.

I know some issuers used to have a problem with multiple payments in a month, although I think that was about people doing a lot of MS. This is all legitimate expenses.
Mostly D2 does not like calling credit card companies, so I try to limit it to closing old cards and other necessities.
I am fine making multiple payments a month as necessary, it is just a bit annoying. I don't really care if it shows up on a CR, we are not churning heavily anymore. If they at least double the CL after we hit the bonus that would be great.

P2 got a CIC a couple months ago. She was initially given a $3,000 credit limit. Just a couple days ago I happened to notice that the credit limit is now $5,200. It was not requested. She has a couple personal Chase cards, but no other Chase business card.

Is there a minimum wait period to apply again after a denial?
Applied for a CIC about a month ago and was rejected because Chase somehow wasn't able to find my credit report, despite already having a Chase personal card for almost a year now.
Ideally I'd wait for the 1 year mark but I don't really want to lose out on the current offers

and amount of credit still available. So if you have CL=$10k and are carrying $3-4k balance which Chase allows per Ink promo at 0% , 12 mo, was that 2nd still approved?
Then if you had a 2nd ink card same criteria Cl=$10k balance of $3k at 0% interest for 12 mo how it effected the next application.
Payments are being made to lower balance but the cards are not paid in full before next application.
Ink cards perk is to carry 0%n balance for 12 mo and there is no card utilization issue reported to CBs but no DP how this is impacted.

They're also pulling my credit report each time so there is something wrong on their end and it's impossible to get a straight answer from their agents
