Hi there I was wondering if i get a credit card machine will it make my business better. I have a carpet cleaning business and was thinking of getting myself a credit card machine so as to take in more different varities of payment..--Answer1:It depends, There are positives and negatives to implementing such a payment option.However for your type of business I personally would NOT accept credit for a payment method. I have been in flooring for over 20 years, and when dealing in tangible goods, the positives definitely outweigh the negs. In my business, I deal with both goods and services.You (Being strictly Service related.) are likely better to remain with strictly cash or check in my opinion. Aside from the monthly service fees, and the fact that a percentage of each transaction goes to the credit card companies. Should a dispute be initiated by a card holder, the card companies can (And Will) deduct disputed funds from your bank account until settled,thus disrupting your cash flow.Since you are strictly service oriented instead of tangible goods, you should consider the fact that Service and/or the quality thereof is more often contested than the goods are.
