What's the difference between a business credit card and a line of credit?

A credit card lets you make everyday transactions without having to pay interest as long as you pay off your balance every billing period.

A line of credit provides funds to help you manage your cash flow. You have to pay interest every month that you use the line of credit, but you can pay off your balance at any time.
