Why is it important to separate business and personal finances?
Security: Keeping your funds separate gives you limited personal liability protection if your business faces a lawsuit or liability.
Establishing Credit: When you make substantial startup purchases with your business account, you build credit history for your business and increase your purchasing power.
Tax Purposes: The tax filing process will be more streamlined, and it could save you the possible trouble of having your business and personal accounts audited by the IRS.
