[Jobs] Blind Business owners and Credit Cards

[caribou_yukon]

This is just a thought as I am in the process of setting up a retail store 
and using credit cards. I would suggest you call Discoever Business card 
division (see the number on the web) and advise them of your need. They have 
been very accommadating and seem will to assist in various things. I realize 
that your clients might not use Discover, but the company probably can 
advise you better than most other card companies and banks. I have been 
impresed.
