Robert,
If by consolidation you mean settlement, yes.
Settling business accounts for a business still in operation will have some side effects that may/may not give you pause.
Example:
If the business is listed with D&B, you will forever have the negative reporting associated with missing payments etc... Business debt is not like consumer debt on credit reports.
Consumer negative reporting is removed after 7.5 years in most instances.
Business tradelines that go negative are forever.
If your business is in a rough patch now, but in an economic turnaround could thrive and grow, you will be facing a steep uphill battle to use credit for that growth, whether it be with banks or vendors.
Not a big deal if you are winding down the business.
Major big deal down the road if your doors are still open.
If you personally guaranteed the card (as most small business owners do) you will be on the hook for payment even if the business closes or files BK.
Best to you and yours!
