But before you open an account, it’s important to make sure you avoid the 6 mistakes that small businesses tend to make when opening a checking account, according to Business News Daily: Putting incorrect or missing information at checking account setup: Many small business owners mistakenly bring the wrong paperwork in when they go to open an account. To avoid this, make sure you ask the bank what information you’ll need to provide prior to coming in. Not opening a separate business account from your personal one: When you don’t have a designated business account, it can difficult to track your financial expenses from your personal ones. It can be more beneficial to open a separate business account for revenue, collected sales tax, estimated income tax, and payroll—especially before it’s time to file for taxes. Not planning for authorized check signing: If your small business includes a partner or staff members, it’s important to consider how many signatures can authorize a transaction from your business checking account. This can easily be set up when you open a business checking account. Not maintaining the monthly balance minimum: Always make sure that your business funds are above the minimum balance requirement in order to make the most of your banking experience, like First Bank’s no monthly maintenance fee.*** Not ordering the correct checks: One of the most common mistakes new small businesses make is printing the wrong name on business checks. It’s important to not only double check the spelling, but to also look into ordering electronic checks as well as paper ones. Working with the wrong bank for your business: Opening a small business is a huge step for anyone, and you need a bank that will work as hard as you do for the success of your new career. At First Bank, we are dedicated to helping small business owners in South Carolina achieve their dreams.   *While First Bank does not charge for mobile banking, your mobile carrier’s message and data rates may apply.
