Can say a sole proprietorship LLC,
Have two ppl on the checking account?
We are husband & wife..
2 companies
I was going to be the owner of one company & have husband be owner of another.. but both need to be on the actual account.
Please advise,
Melissa
Hi Melissa, you’ll need to speak with the bank about that, but generally no, since a Sole Proprietorship is simply just one individual conducting business. Hope that helps.
Two questions:
1) Do I need to keep physical copies of company records or can I keep only digital versions?
2) When signatures are needed do I need physical signatures or is it possible (and how) to use digital signatures?
Thanks!
Hey Ryan, digital copies are okay. Physical copies aren’t required. You can use digital signatures too. It can be done in most software like Adobe, Word, etc. Hope that helps.
