Once your business is on track to “go live” and commence business operations, you’ll need to find a good bank and open a business bank account. To start off, you’ll probably only need one business bank account - typically, a business checking account but as the business needs and requirements change, opening additional accounts may be warranted.

Now that you’re ready and committed to starting a business, you need to put together a game plan. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to starting a business so it’s important to be organized, detail-oriented and have all your ducks lined up. You’ll first want to take a “view from 10,000 feet” and then drill-down into the specific details.

So why do you want to start your own business? Time for a REALITY CHECK!

Part of starting, owning and running a business is LEARNING and rest assured, there will be a lot of learning! Look, you’re not going to know everything on day one.

So, you’ve reached a point in your life and career where you want to take a leap outside of your comfort zone and are considering starting your own business.
