Why Can’t I Just Use My Personal Account? A Simple Guide
Legally, a registered company is a separate entity from its owner. Mixing business and personal funds (co-mingling) is a major red flag for SARS and can create serious accounting and tax problems. It becomes impossible to accurately track your business’s performance. A dedicated business bank account keeps all business income and expenses separate, making bookkeeping accurate and proving to SARS that your business is legitimate. Banks also require a business account to grant loans or other facilities.
