In many ways, there has never been a more difficult time to be a small business owner. In order to succeed in a market that is constantly more competitive and more challenging to navigate, its important to have access to the proper resources.

Last year, we at Freightcom partnered with BMO to shine a spotlight on some resources that Freightcom customers could access to help their businesses achieve their true potential. We are proud to announce that BMO is continuing to offer amazing banking solutions for small businesses, and Freightcom is continuing to partner with BMO to help our customers access those solutions.

A solid eCommerce strategy is a must for any modern business, and a key part of that strategy is having a business banking plan that compliments it.

BMO’s eBusiness Plan is a banking plan built for eCommerce. With no monthly fee and no minimum balance, it’s the optimal plan for new small business owners, and with the ability to accept online payments and manage your bookkeeping and payroll, it’s as ideal a plan for owners at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey.

Furthermore, with unlimited Moneris ^®‡ and electronic transactions^1,2 the eBusiness plan is a banking plan that scales with your business hassle-free.

This no annual fee, no minimum income card helps turn your business expenses into earnings. For your first 3 months, you get 10% cash back on gas, office supplies, cell phone, and internet payments³.
