Pros and cons
BDO provides excellent business accounts for those who require extra functionality to assist their operations and enable them to grow their businesses. However, weighing all the benefits and drawbacks before applying is crucial.
Pros
- Finances are kept separate from personal accounts with a BPO business account. This makes tax preparation more manageable and supports any financial concerns relating to the business from involving the owner's private funds.
- Services included with BDO business accounts are aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of your company. Payroll services, cost-free Internet banking, and aid with loan applications are a few examples.
Cons
The costs that apply to BDO business accounts are numerous. For instance, a well-established company is frequently required to maintain a somewhat large minimum balance and may incur fines if they don't.
