When you start up your business, you probably don’t consider whether credit card payment providers will consider your business to be high risk. In other words, even a business that might be perceived as perfectly normal and safe may be considered high risk by a credit card processing provider. 

For instance, you might own a business that sells large ticket items in advance. These items could be event tickets or airline tickets. Your business might be considered high-risk because those purchases can be get caught up in requests for refunds, reselling, disputes that can increase the risk to the payment processing provider.

Your Business Can Be Considered High-Risk If Any Of These Apply:

  • The credit card processor has concerns about the financial stability of your business, or if you, as the business owner have a low credit score
  • Your business is brand new and you are still developing your brand and reputation, 
  • The industry that your business operates in has a high chargeback ratio
  • Your business operates in deals with weapons, adult materials, drugs or drug paraphernalia, or similar products
