PART I

     
Item 1.
  Business.

                       The Advanta Business Card Master Trust (the “Trust”) was organized by Advanta Business Receivables Corp. (the “Transferor”), pursuant to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) dated as of August 1, 2000, between the Transferor and Wilmington Trust Company as owner trustee (the “Owner Trustee”). Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000, between Advanta Bank Corp. (“ABC”) as seller and the Transferor as purchaser, ABC transferred all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under certain credit card receivables arising from time to time in designated accounts (the “Receivables”) to the Transferor. The Transferor, in turn, transferred all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables to the Trust, pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000 (the “Transfer and Servicing Agreement”), among the Transferor, ABC as servicer (the “Servicer”) and the Trust. Under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer has agreed to service and administer the Receivables as agent for the Transferor and the Trust. The Trust and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company) as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) entered into a master indenture (the “Master Indenture”) dated as of August 1, 2000. The Master Indenture is supplemented by various series supplements providing for the issuance of notes, in varying series. Publicly registered and outstanding notes existing as of December 31, 2003 are the following: Series 2000-C Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2001-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2002-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-B Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-C Asset-Backed Notes, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C-1 and Class C-2; and Series 2003-D Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C (these publicly registered notes are collectively referred to as the “Notes”). The Notes represent interests in the Trust only and do not represent interests in or obligations of the Transferor, ABC, Advanta Corp. or any affiliate thereof.

                       The Registrant has prepared this Form 10-K in reliance upon various no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to other trusts which are substantially similar to the Trust. Items designated herein as “Not Applicable” have been omitted as a result of this reliance.

     
Item 2.
  Properties.

                       The Trust’s assets consist primarily of a pool of receivables in a portfolio of revolving business credit card accounts originated or acquired by ABC.

     
Item 3.
  Legal Proceedings.

                       The Transferor is not aware of any material pending litigation involving the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or ABC with respect to the Notes or the property or activities of the Trust. The Transferor is aware that the Servicer is a party to various legal proceedings resulting from the ordinary business activities relating to its current and discontinued operations.
