I wanted to chat about an important topic that gets overlooked when starting a small business - running it professionally from the start. I recently recorded a video walking through six key steps small business owners should take to operate like a large corporation: registering for a tax ID, opening a separate business bank account, choosing the right business structure, getting insurance, hiring a bookkeeper and accountant, and obtaining official approvals and stamps. These may sound boring, but they're so critical for protecting yourself legally and financially, saving time on admin, and making your business look legit. I share why each one matters based on my own experience making mistakes! A few key takeaways: Get an EIN even as a sole prop to keep personal and biz finances separate Open that separate bank account to simplify record keeping and reporting Consult a pro on what business structure fits you best tax and liability-wise Insure yourself against risks like lawsuits that could tank your company I hope this video helps you build a strong foundation so you can focus on growth and serving customers, rather than paperwork and compliance. Let me know if it brings up any questions! Would love to hear your experiences implementing these tips as well. #SmallBusinessTips #BusinessGrowth #ProfessionalismMatters #Entrepreneurship #BusinessCertifications
