High spend capacity allows you to invest in your business when opportunities arise while maintaining cash flow for your day-to-day operations.

May 01, 2025

      This article contains general information and is not intended to provide information that is specific to American Express, or its products and services.  Similar products and services offered by different companies will have different features and you should always read about product details before acquiring any financial product.

      Cash flow and spend capacity go hand-in-hand. Business owners understand the importance of having a strong cash-flow position (aka cash-in-hand to make your regular business purchases)—but what happens when your products start flying off the shelves and you need to ramp up production, fast? That’s one of the kinds of situations where a high spend capacity comes in handy: so you can invest in your business without halting your cash-flow. To help maximize your spend capacity, the Business Gold Card from American Express offers No Preset Spending Limit and Pay Over Time, both of which could help expand your spend capacity while giving you greater cash-flow control.
