Ramai usahawan baru berjaya mendaftarkan syarikat dengan SSM tetapi tidak pasti apakah langkah seterusnya.
Salah satu langkah paling penting ialah membuka akaun bank perniagaan supaya urusan kewangan syarikat lebih profesional dan teratur.

Pastikan syarikat telah berdaftar sama ada sebagai:
🔹 Enterprise (Milikan Tunggal)

📌 Lesen perniagaan (jika berkaitan)
📌 Cop syarikat
📌 Resolusi syarikat (bagi Sdn. Bhd.)

✅ Langkah 3: Mohon Akaun Perniagaan
Kini banyak bank membenarkan permohonan dibuat secara dalam talian atau melalui cawangan bank.
Bagi akaun SME di Maybank, proses permohonan boleh dimulakan secara online sebelum pengesahan dibuat melalui aplikasi atau di cawangan bank terpilih. (Maybank2u)
✅ Langkah 4: Buat Deposit Permulaan
Kebiasaannya bank memerlukan deposit minimum untuk mengaktifkan akaun.
Bagi akaun SME First Maybank, deposit permulaan boleh bermula serendah RM100 bagi permohonan digital atau RM1,000 jika dilakukan di cawangan bank. (Maybank2u)
✅ Langkah 5: Aktifkan Perbankan Internet
Aktifkan:
✔️ Online banking
✔️ QR payment
✔️ DuitNow QR
✔️ Pemindahan gaji pekerja
✔️ Pembayaran pembekal
Ini akan memudahkan operasi syarikat pada masa hadapan. (Maybank2u)
Kenapa Perlu Asingkan Akaun Peribadi dan Akaun Syarikat?
✅ Rekod kewangan lebih tersusun
✅ Memudahkan audit dan percukaian
✅ Meningkatkan keyakinan pelanggan
✅ Memudahkan permohonan pembiayaan atau geran
✅ Menunjukkan imej syarikat yang lebih profesional
