Does anyone else put everything even rent on their credit card to help with cash flow? Most of my clients are net 30 so I may not get paid for 30-40 days after I bill them. Personally it creates cash flow issues when rent is due on the 1st. I ended up just getting a no limit credit card and put everything on that. Having 30-60 days to pay that helps a lot.
