There are several benefits from opening and maintaining a business checking account rather than using your personal checking account. When you use a business checking account you are segregating your business funds from your personal funds, thus creating better organization for your business. Also, having the business checking account will help at tax time because all your business transactions will be within the business checking account and there will be no need to sort through your personal transactions. Finally, the business checking account will allow you to use a taxpayer identification number (TIN) so the funds can legally be owned by your business, instead of using your social security number on the checking account. For a small business, opening a business checking account allows you to get more interests. In addition, transactions are processed faster compared to a personal account.

Free business checking accounts are ideal for small to large business owners who value their time, business, and money.A free business checking account is valuable to the business owner because there are no major strings attached. Someone who is running their own business does not want to be bothered with fees and other setbacks. This type of business account has no monthly minimum balance requirement and no minimum deposit required.As a small business owner myself, I can tell you firsthand that there will be some minor stipulations to this account. Obviously, the first requirement is that you have to own a business or be incorporated. It can be a small business and "incorporated" means that you have a retail merchant certificate registered in Indiana. Upon opening the account, you will receive a check card in the mail which will allow you to make purchases. It is important that you use the card at least five times a month to avoid a fee.There are some advantages to owning a free business checking account. For example, it allows the average business owner to separate business from personal expenses. This will avoid a lot of confusion, especially during tax season. Secondly, a business account makes purchasing items convenient and quick. He or she no longer has to worry about carrying around enough cash or having exact change; just charge it on the card and be on their way. Finally, a lot of unnecessary stress is taken off the owner's shoulders because all the expenses are recorded on a bank statement. This allows for easier access when tracking overhead expenses.In summary, there are a lot of advantages to having a free business checking account. This type of account is ideal for saving time and avoiding a lot of financial headaches so that you can provide a better business to your customers.
