You are not eligible if your business already has a Chase business checking account, if you closed one within 90 days of opening it, or if you closed one with a negative balance in the past three years. Government entities, political action committees and campaign accounts are excluded, as are JPMorgan Chase employees. A signer can take one Chase business checking offer every two years counted from the last enrollment date, and only one offer applies per account.
