SME BUSINESS ACCOUNT

A business account is a bank account opened in the company’s name that is used for processing day-to-day business receipts, payments to suppliers, payroll for employees and other business expenses like office rents and utility payments. Any records of income and expenses processed through a company’s business account will be used for filing tax returns.
