Tip Tuesday!
Most small business owners understand that they need a business checking account in order to keep their personal and business finances separate. That just makes good sense. What some, especially home-based business owners, fail to do is separate their business and personal computing, especially userID and passwords. Maintaining that dividing line between your personal and business assets, especially how they are accessed, is important to protect your business and your customers.
A handful of areas to think about:
- Online banking – access to personal and business accounts should not be the same.
- E-mail – Customers should send and receive e-mail from a “business” account.
- CRM – If you use an online CRM took, don’t access it the same way you access your personal Facebook page.
- Social Media – Personal accounts should be accessed differently than business or “fan” pages (even if your name is your business).
Treat your business like a business. Protect yourself, your business, and your customers.
