Can my daughter deduct business expense not under her name?

My daughter is about to open a business in 2018 under her name. In 2017 my husband, same last name same address as her, bought few stuff for her business using his credit card since she did  not have one. Now the invoices are under his name. Can she deduct these start up costs for her business  if he used his credit card and invoices are on his name ? She paid him cash for these costs . Thank you.

No. Unfortunately these are not eligible expenses.
