You must learn as much as possible about your new business.  The more you know the better you will be at making decisions.  You must also establish an action plan, so you will not forget to do some important tasks.  An action plan or business plan will enable you to keep things going in the right direction, even when it doesnt seem so.

3) How do I obtain a line of credit for my business? Most business owners begin by financing the business on their own credit.  They do this by using their current personal capital and credit to fund the business.  Over time they open lines of credit in the name of the business, but the credit is still guaranteed personally by them.  In most instances, entrepreneurs open credit lines with a personal guarantee and then add the business name to them.  I carry an American Express for my business as well a persnal American Express.  Doing so enables me to separate purchases and to both maximize write-offs and minimize time in accounting for purchases. 

We recommend you sign up for a personal American Express to use for personal purchases as well as for a Business American Express.  This will help you maximize the benefits of owning your own business.  Seek specific answers for tax questions from your accontant or tax professional.  For more of our opinion sign up for the FREE FAQ Email below.
