Business Checking Account FAQ
What does a business need to open a checking account?
|
The requirements for opening a business checking account can vary, depending on the ownership structure, but generally, businesses will need to provide the following:
- Business Identification: A federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) or, for sole proprietors, a Social Security Number (SSN).
- Business Formation Documents: Articles of Incorporation, Articles of Organization, or a license proving the business is legally registered.
- Ownership Agreements: Partnership agreements, operating agreements, or shareholder agreements, if applicable.
- Business License: This proves that your business is legally registered and authorized to operate in your jurisdiction.
- Assumed name certificate: This may be required if your business is operating with a DBA (doing business as).
- Personal Identification: Government-issued photo IDs (e.g., driver's license, passport) for all individuals with significant control over the business, such as owners and key executives.
- Initial Deposit: Many banks require an initial deposit to open the account, and the amount can vary.
|
Why should I open a business checking account and not a personal checking account?
|
Opening a business checking account instead of using a personal account for business transactions offers several advantages. It helps maintain a legal separation between personal and business finances, simplifying tax preparation and compliance. A business account enhances your professional image and allows for easier expense tracking and management. It can also offer specialized features tailored to business needs, such as payroll services. A business checking account is important for effective financial management.
|
What are the benefits of a business money market account?
|
A business money market account (MMA) offers a blend of growth and flexibility ideal for businesses. These accounts typically feature higher interest rates than standard savings accounts, allowing your funds to grow more efficiently. They also provide a degree of liquidity, often permitting a limited number of withdrawals and transfers without penalties. Being FDIC-insured, they offer a secure place to hold your business's funds. Money market accounts are an effective way of ensuring proper cash management and financial planning.
