Your Self-Employment Finance Made Easy: 6 Key Advantages of Business Checking Account
Running a business isn’t easy. One of the hardest things about self-employment is managing finances. Nobody tells you when you first start a business that you are going to have to be your own account.
However, in spite of how difficult managing your finances can be, unless you want to pay a small fortune for a professional’s help you will have to learn to manage. This post will help you with that by telling you about the six key advantages of opening a business checking account (and storing your money there).
Safe Storage
One of the best things about a business checking account is that you don’t have to worry about fraud. Fraud is a big problem for businesses today. By taking a look at this Found Bank review or a review of any other major business bank, you will see that security is of utmost importance. By choosing a reliable bank to open a business account with you won’t ever have to worry about fraud again.
Easy Access
Something else that you need to think about is accessing your money. If your money is being held in current accounts then you could be limited by how many withdrawals and transactions you can make per day. When you have a business account, on the other hand, you do not. A business account will enable you to access your money immediately for whatever reason.
Regular Statements
When you open a business account, you get regular statements sent directly to you via post or via email. If you are having regular statements sent to you by post then you need to make sure that you are storing them safely. A lot of people make the mistake of adopting careless attitudes when it comes to the storage of their bank statements. If you do not take care of yours, they could fall into somebody else’s hands. Your statements in the hands of somebody unconnected to your business could be dangerous for it.
Tracking Payments
When you have a business account, the bank you are with has more control over payment tracking. If you hold an ordinary current account and money is taken from it, there is not much your bank can do other than to write to the bank money was sent to. Canceling transactions is a lot easier when you have a dedicated business account.
Customer Support
The customer support department of business banks is open 24/7 due to the fact that business banking concerns can arise at any time. Just so you can be sure though, before opening an account with a bank, make sure that you verify they have a responsive and reliable support department that is available around the clock.
Business Help
When you have a business account, you can get additional support from your bank relative to business matters, i.e., advice on running things. If you think you could benefit from business support then again a business account is something to consider.
Running a business can be made significantly easier by opening a dedicated business account. If you do not already hold on, after reading this post it’s likely you want to. Make sure you find a reliable bank to open an account with.
