Scenario

When cash-based small business owners face banking requirements

My husband and I clean houses for clients who pay cash, and we've been keeping our money at home, but our accountant says we need business bank accounts for tax purposes, and we're nervous about having to explain our cash-based income to banks who might not understand our situation.

More people experience this than they realize.
