Send us a text Proper separation between business and personal finances is critical for protecting your painting business, minimizing tax liabilities, and ensuring legal protection through your LLC or corporation. • Five key reasons to avoid co-mingling finances: legal protection, reduced audit risk, maximizing deductions, maintaining loan eligibility, and proper owner compensation • Mixing personal and business finances breaks down your "corporate veil," potentially exposing personal assets to business lawsuits • The IRS views co-mingled finances as red flags that increase audit probability and scrutiny of all deductions • Paying for business expenses with personal funds can result in missed tax deductions unless properly documented • Banks and lenders are more likely to approve business loans when they see clean, separated financial records • Owner's compensation should be formalized - either as owner's draws for LLCs or as reasonable salary plus distributions for S-Corps • S-Corporation owners must pay themselves a defensible "reasonable salary" that balances tax efficiency with IRS requirements • Establishing good financial habits from the start is much easier than fixing problems after an audit begins Join our Facebook group "Grow your Painting Business" with your questions about financial separation or accountable plans, and either Daniel or Richard would be happy to help you further.…
