Your Business Bank Account Is Your Liability Shield in Action
The LLC gives you protection. The separate account is what makes it real.
Most common mistake: form the LLC, keep depositing business income into a personal account. “I’ll separate it later.” Later never comes. Six months in: bookkeeper cleanup charges, CPA can’t deduct half the expenses, and if you get sued — the opposing attorney uses that commingling to pierce the corporate veil, wiping out the liability protection you paid to create. The LLC protects you. The bank account proves the LLC is real. Banks want your Articles of Organization, EIN, and operating agreement. Corp Nation provides all of it — Articles filed correctly, EIN obtained, registered agent service, customized operating agreement. The complete package every Washington bank will ask for.
