Banking Tips for a Small Business

In the United States, there are many small businesses and they are very important to the state of the economy, which we are especially seeing right now during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you own a small business, it is important you know how to handle the finances so you can succeed now and grow in the future.

At FLCBank, our priority is to make running your business as easy as possible in any way we can.  As a business, we believe that managing your finances should be a simple, effortless process.

For this article, we wanted to share some simple banking tips for small businesses.

  • Establish one or more business accounts at a bank/financial institution.
  • Do not combine personal accounts with business accounts.
  • Monitor your banking activity for accuracy. Check monthly statements. Review account fees.
  • Avoid getting an unnecessary loan unless you have a worthwhile reason for it.
  • Assign one person to oversee the company’s finances and financial processes frequently. This person will handle deposits, writing checks, ordering company checks, and any other financial matters.
  • Review accounts once a year.
  • Make sure that your financials are being maintained with the latest software and current business practices.
  • Correct any glitches or errors in an account immediately.
  • Pick a bank that meets your needs now but can also meet your needs as your business grows.
  • Make sure you are clear about all fees associated with your account.
  • Do your research on banks and find one that works best for your business. As a small business, find a bank that caters to small businesses and get to know the people you are dealing with.
  • Let your bank know the number of services that you are subscribing to from their bank and how much revenue or interests they make from your business when you negotiate interest rates.
  • Track your income by week so you can make progress towards your income goals.
  • Keep your business account reconciled.
  • Opt for more than one business account to separate things like employee wages, inventory, etc.
  • Get to know your banker. Building relationships with a banker as a small business is critical as it can help create more opportunities and connections.
