Hello!Thank you for reading this post. After following this subreddit I have found new motivation to try and start a business. I am a licensed professional in California and I am starting an environmental consulting LLC.I first started out by finding work on Upwork and have a very small, but steady income on there. Since I seem to be onto a somewhat successful an idea, I decided to form an LLC and try to find work locally and would like to move away from Upwork with new clients.Now that I have started my LLC and I am in the final stages of insuring my business (that was another, separate hassle), I was kind of wondering what I should do next; should I take my EIN and open up a business bank account? Should I also connect said bank account to Upwork and have my funds from Upwork go into my business account?I am planning to see a tax professional, but won’t be for another couple of months. My cousin owns her own business and she recommended that I open a business bank account and start using quick books to invoice clients. Is this the best way to set up the financial infrastructure for my company?I would like to take the funds I have saved up from Upwork and put them into my business bank account if the consensus is that I should open a business bank account. After reading a post just now about keeping business and personal accounts separate; I wanted to ask if you guys thought that was an acceptable idea.I also feel like I may have jumped the gun a little by starting an LLC, and now I have to pay the $800 LLC tax fee for starting a business in California. I think could have stayed as a sole proprietor for now, but felt I needed the added protection of an LLC and E&O/general liability insurance considering my line of work as an environmental consultant with a professional license.Does this sound to anyone like I am heading in the right direction? If anything I said above isn’t making sense, I would love to hear some advice, constructive criticism, or just general direction.Thank you guys for reading and look forward to your responses! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
