That issue as addressed, along with many others, in\u00a0our Free EBook, &#8220;<a title=\"Starting Your Internet Business Right! Free eBook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwidebrands.com\/WWB\/kh_freeebookHOME.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Starting Your Internet Business Right<\/a>&#8220;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Since that means you\u2019ll have a legal business name, you must collect your payment under that business name. Beside the fact that you need to be legal to really succeed online, there\u2019s another important thing to remember. You cannot collect money from your customers\u2019 credit cards if you don\u2019t have a legal business name. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Credit card companies like MasterCard, Visa, American Express and all the others will not deposit money into a personal bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">So, you need a Business Bank Account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">A Business Bank Account is simple, really. For our purposes here, it\u2019s just like a regular old checking account, only it\u2019s in your Business Name. Instead of a checking account under the name Mary Smith, you open a checking account under your business name, like Smith Enterprises, Inc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">In order to do that, you\u2019ll need to show your bank that your business is legal. Remember, when you use a Business Bank account, you\u2019re able to accept money from people, and write checks to people, under a name that is not your own personal name. The bank has to be sure that if you use a business name like Smith Enterprises, Inc., you really are allowed to legally use that name. So, they\u2019ll want to see your business paperwork, like your Corporate Filing papers, or your Fictitious Name or DBA paperwork. They\u2019ll want to see your Tax ID, your Social Security card, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Don\u2019t let all this scare you off. It\u2019s not hard. It\u2019s really just like opening a regular personal checking account, only the papers you show them are different. Once you set up your legal business, you\u2019ll have the papers the bank needs in order to set this account up for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">A Business Bank Account is how your money flows back and forth between your business and the rest of the world. The money coming into this account will be your customers\u2019 payments for the products you sell, and the money going out of this account will be you paying your business bills or withdrawing money for your own personal use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">So, overall, a Business Bank Account is just like a regular personal checking account, except that it allows you to accept money, and write checks, under your Business name instead of your personal name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Business Bank Accounts used to be very hard to get. Banks would make you jump through all kinds of hoops. Now, however, with the advent of Ecommerce, so many people are starting home businesses that banks are making this process easier and easier. Here\u2019s an example of what it takes to open a Business Bank Account at a small-town bank near us, in Orlando, Florida. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">They need to see your Articles of Incorporation (if you have a corporation) or your Business Name paperwork if you\u2019ve filed a business name that\u2019s not incorporated. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">They need your Federal Tax ID. This is easy to register for online, and it\u2019s free. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">They need a Picture ID, like a Driver\u2019s License, for each person who will be signing your business checks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">They need a Social Security Card for each person who will be signing checks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Here in Florida, we have something called a County Occupational License. It\u2019s an additional business license from our County that we have to get in order to open a business. Where you are, you may or may not need something like this; it depends on the rules of the State and County you live in. In Florida, we have to show the bank this business license as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Now that we know what we need to show the bank, let\u2019s talk about the account itself. Just like personal checking accounts, there are certain fees and deposits required for a Business Checking Account. Here\u2019s how it works at the bank I\u2019m using as an example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">They require a minimum $100 deposit to open the account. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">There\u2019s a $13.99 monthly fee for check writing, which allows you to write up to 100 checks per month. If you write more than 100 checks out of this account in a month, it costs you 25 cents for each additional check. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">You can place up to 250 separate deposits in the Account each month. When you\u2019re doing business online, and collecting credit card payments from my customers, all the credit card money you collect each day generally counts as ONE deposit. That\u2019s because of the way collecting credit card money works. It\u2019s enough to say that you generally won\u2019t make more than 60 or 70 deposits in your account per month. If, however, you do happen to make more than 250 separate deposits in your Business Bank Account in a month, you pay 10 cents for each additional deposit over that 250 deposit limit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">In this particular bank\u2019s Business Account, they want you to keep at least $2500 in the account, or you pay a monthly Service Charge of $13.97. Most people just pay the Service Charge, and don\u2019t worry about the minimum balance right away. Your business will build up to, and go beyond the point where you can keep that $2500 in the account all the time, but in the beginning, you shouldn\u2019t worry about it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Business Bank Accounts are different, depending on the bank. Some banks still make you jump through hoops. If yours does, try another bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Banks also try to get you to sign up for all finds of Small Business \u201cPackages\u201d, including Merchant Accounts, etc. You do not need to do that if you don\u2019t want to. Many times, you can get the best deal on a Business Bank Account from one place, and the best deal on a Merchant Account somewhere else. You do not have to get everything in one place. Don\u2019t let your bank push you into using all their Small Business Services if you can find better deals on some of those services elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter how you collect money on the Internet, there\u2019s one thing that you always need&#8230; In order to really succeed online, you must have a legal business.
