Pros

  • Personal guarantee is unconditional and first-recourse
  • No purchase protection, extended warranty, or cell-phone insurance in the public benefits guide; Priority Pass visits are paid
  • After the intro window, 16.74%–24.74% variable APR makes revolving expensive relative to 2% earn; no public BT product

First Federal Community Bank Business Zero+ Card

Pros

  • $0 annual fee and $0 extra-card fee
  • 0% intro APR for 18 billing cycles on purchases and on timely BTs — among the longest business-card intros advertised in 2026
  • BT window extends 558 days after opening on the aggregator box (same Elan SKU across partners)

  • Optional 3-month $0 ExtendPay once per year after intro ends; cell-phone protection up to $600 when the bill is paid with the card

Cons

  • No cash back on ordinary business spend — portal prepaid travel only
  • Go-to purchase APR 16.24%–25.24% variable is expensive float after the intro

  • Personal guarantee; Elan may pursue the owner for all account charges
  • First Federal does not publish the live Schumer box on its site; rewards travel headline is easy to misread as airline/hotel MCC bonuses

Verdict

Wells Fargo Signify Business Cash® Card

Signify Business Cash is the flat 2% SKU — not Essential/Elite (points) and not consumer Active Cash. It beats Blue Business Cash after the $50k 2% cap and beats Ink Unlimited on ongoing earn, while trailing Spark Cash Plus on FTF and NPSL. Skip it for foreign spend, transferable points, no-PG underwriting, or anyone who will revolve after month 12.

First Federal Community Bank Business Zero+ Card

This is Elan’s Visa Business Zero+ cobranded for First Federal Community Bank (Dover, OH / firstfed.com) — not a card the bank underwrites, not the consumer Zero+ twin, and not Bucyrus ffcb.com. It is a 0% float tool with thin portal-only rewards, not a daily driver. Pair it with a 2–5% earn card. Confirm the live rates-and-fees box at application.
