Today’s Tip:

Open a separate checking account for your business.
If you are the sole owner of the business, open an additional personal account and save the extra fees associated with business accounts. Deposit your settlement checks in this account and pay yourself for driving from these funds. A separate account gives easy access to details needed in case of an audit.
