# BusinessCards Object (IBusinessCards Interface)

This object represents a collection of [BusinessCard](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/document-related-objects/businesscard) objects. The collection is accessible via the [FRDocument](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/document-related-objects/frdocument) and [FRPage](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/document-related-objects/frpage) object.

* The indexing of ABBYY FineReader Engine collections starts with 0.
* The foreach statement in C# (for each in Visual Basic .NET) can be used to manipulate the collection.
