NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Owning a credit card for your business comes with certain advantages. In fact, as your business grows using one can become necessary for saving you both time and money.

Here some benefits of a business credit card:

Keeps personal and business expenses separate. The credit card will only be used for business-related expenses, so when a statement comes it will be easy to review. You won’t need to do any tedious highlighting or underlining of expenses that don’t belong in your business records.

Makes tracking employee spending easier. Many small businesses are set up so the owner needs to give approval on every transaction before payment is made. This not only slows the process of making routine purchases and paying bills but also means that you need to be on call for your signature. A better way to keep track of spending is to issue individual cards to each employee and link them to your business account. On your billing statement, the transactions will be itemized and divided based on each employee’s individual purchases. Not only does this make it easier to view, but if any employees are big spenders you will catch it fast.

Financial statements to stay organized. Credit-card companies routinely generate a variety of different reports for business customers, including quarterly and annual statements that break down your spending. Among other things, it will make life much easier around tax time. Instead of digging up old receipts, you can just send your accountant a printout.

Whakatane-based finance company Asset Finance has posted a loss of $583,296 for the year to March 2008, compared with a profit of $827,938 the previous year.

Despite this, the company still managed to pay its two shareholders a dividend of $611,980, up from $150,000 the prior year, according to latest company accounts.

The two shareholders are directors Dennis Hodgetts and Clive George, while the two other directors of the company are not listed as having any shares.

The company defended the dividend increase, saying the payment related to the previous year.

The net effect to shareholders was only $11,980 since another $600,000 was raised following the issue of ordinary shares during the period, operations manager Blair George said.

As at March 2008 Asset Finance Ltd had total liabilities of $23.5 million. Total debentures and capital notes at that period were $21.3 million, according to the annual report.

Assets included $12.56 million in loans and advances, with $12.19 million overdue and $5.88 million less than 30 days overdue.

When asked whether they were still accepting redemptions and paying debenture holders interest, Director Dennis Hodgetts said, “Of course we are”.

Asset Finance has 14 branches in the North Island, and according to their website offers personal loans, debt consolidation loans, car finance loans, and business & finance loans.

Vastech Inc., a supplier of computer parts and accessories, on Wednesday settled a consumer protection lawsuit filed by the Santa Clara County District Attorney.

Sunnyvale-based Vastech paid $10,000 to settle the suit that claimed the company violated state law by failing to pay hundreds of advertised rebates in 2006 and 2007. The DA said a box of unopened rebate requests addressed to Vastech was found in a dumpster, prompting an investigation.

Vastech, which eventually made good on the discarded rebates and has already cut a check for the settlement, admitted no wrongdoing, the DA said.

The judgment was handed down by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Neal A. Cabrinha.

The foreign exchange market was action packed last week. However this week the economic calendar is light. There are only a few event risks, most of which will probably be a nonevent for the currency market. These include the G8 Summit, Australian and Canadian employment numbers, the BoE rate decision, the US Trade Balance and the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence report.

G8 Summit (July 7-9)

The only thing that can have a meaningful impact on the dollar is the G8 meeting in Japan which will be held from July 7 to July 9. Last month was the finance ministers meeting, which proved to be a non-event for the US dollar. However going into that meeting, there was a lot of speculation about the possibility of currency intervention and a major change to the language relating to currencies in the communiqué. Inflation is a problem that central banks around the world are struggling with and the part of the reason why inflation has gotten to current levels is US dollar weakness. Official opposition to further dollar weakness by the G8 would trigger a major turn in the US dollar, one that could take USD/JPY towards 110 and the EUR/USD below 1.55. G8 meetings have in the past been huge market movers for the US dollar. This time around, there hasn’t been any speculation about a change in the FX language, but if one was to happen, the only possibility would be dollar bullish comments. China has already been unusually vocal about wanting to see the dollar stabilize and with oil prices hitting a new record high on Thursday, inflation has worsened. However no central bank governors are expected to attend the meeting in Hokkaido. In the past decade, all of the meetings that have affected the FX markets have been attended by central bank governors. Therefore like the Finance Ministers meeting last month, the upcoming G8 meeting attended by world leaders could end up being a nonevent for the US dollar.

Australian Employment Numbers (July 9)

Despite strong retail sales and price pressures, the Reserve Bank of Australia was surprisingly dovish. This week’s employment numbers will go a long way in shedding more light on how the Australian economy is really doing. The drop in employment component of the manufacturing and service PMI reports suggest weak numbers, but the employment situation in the construction sector has improved.

Bank of England Rate Decision (July 10)

The currency pair with the most market moving data next week is the British pound. The Bank of England has an interest rate decision scheduled while the UK will release their industrial production and trade balance reports. Given the repeated disappointments in the PMI numbers, we now understand why the BoE has been reluctant to raise interest rates. Mervyn King and his colleagues are expected to leave rates interest rates unchanged once again at 5 percent - the last time they altered rates was in April when they eased by 25bp. If rates are not changed, the BoE will not release any comments or statements, which means that Thursday’s rate decision could be a non-event. In the week ahead, unless industrial production is surprisingly strong, the British pound should underperform the US dollar and Euro.

Canadian Employment Numbers (July 11)

Despite a new record high in oil prices, the Canadian dollar has barely budged because of fears about spillover effects from a slower US economy. On Friday, the IVEY PMI report hit the highest level in 2 years. This rise was largely due to the price component which hit the highest level ever. The employment numbers will provide more information on whether the economy is doing as well as the IVEY PMI number suggests.

US Trade Balance and Consumer Confidence (July 11)

The US trade balance and the preliminary figures for the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence numbers are the only pieces of US data that can impact the US dollar this week. Although the trade balance could improve with manufacturing ISM back in expansionary territory, consumer confidence should deteriorate further.
