Establishing Business Financial Accounts
You need to provide proof that your business is properly registered to open a business bank account. A business bank account is an important asset to a small business because you can separate your personal activities from your business activities. It is also more professional to give your clients a business name for payment instead of your own full name.
Getting Loans and Credit
When you apply for small business loans, you're going to have to prove that you're actually a business. Lenders and investors will ask to see your business registration along with other application requirements before approving you for a loan. If you apply for a credit card as a business, creditors may also ask to see your registration paperwork.
Reputation With Customers
Customers and clients, especially people you've never worked with before, need assurance that you are a legitimate business. A potential client may suspect your business of being a "fly-by-night" operation if your company isn't properly registered. When a business is on file with the state, it could put your clients at ease when making a decision about whether to spend money with your company.
Supplier Arrangements
A registered business also makes you eligible to receive supplier discounts that you wouldn't normally receive as an unregistered operation. Suppliers commonly reserve wholesale rates for business owners who can show official paperwork from the state. Also, if you plan to try to get government contracts for your company, a business registration is one of the first requirements.
Hiring Employees
A business registration allows you to hire full-time employees and pay them in accordance to specific laws. When you register your business with the state you'll receive a state identification number that allows you to route state taxes on the employee's behalf*. So if you plan to hire on employees to your business, it's best to take care of registering your business with the state before you even start the search for workers.
