One of the
mottos in our office is:
"If it's not
documented...it didn't
happen"
MAINTAINING
RECORDS
| Open a
bank account. Deposit
startup funds. |
You are on your way. You
just founded your
business. You now have
everything you will need
to go on to the next
step: Open a free
business bank account. We
got our own business
checking account with US
Bank. They are in many
convenient locations,
offer Internet Banking,
give you a free Visa
Check Card, and best of
all - the bank account is
free of cost (Basic
version - which is more
than sufficient for every
startup). Assuming that
you registered a LLC you
can use your own Social
Security Number for the
bank account and
business. This is
absolutely legit and Ok
as long as you are the
only member of the LLC.
Keeping Records of your
Hosting Clients is fairly
easy!
BUT, ORGANIZATIONAL
SKILLS ARE MANDATORY
Suggested office
supplies needed!
- Four Drawer File
Cabinet
- 100 Three Part File
Folders (to get you
going!)
- A good printer
- White Paper
- Box of White envelopes
& Stamps for hard
copy invoicing
Always keep a File Folder
for every Client that
signs-up (Regardless of
how they pay!) Label the
file folder with the
Client's "Domain
Name"
Inside of the Client
Folder, keep the
following information:
1. Client Sign-up
Information (hosting plan
info)
2. Hosting Account Access
Info (User/Password,
etc.)
3. Client e-mail and
contact info
4. Payment source and/or
receipts from payments
5. Copies of checks (if
they are paying by mail)
Or, write down the check
number, date paid and
amount.
6. Paid invoices
7. Contracts or Hosting
Agreement
8. Documentation and/or
E-mail notices with
instructions or
agreements for upgradeds,
site cancellations etc.
Document
"everything".
If they call you by phone
to upgrade, document the
conversation, date it,
sign it and then file it
in the Clients folder. As
your company grows,
should you need to
reference a prior
conversation, you will
have your notes! Be
thorough.
ACCOUNTING
SOFTWARE
We recommend that you
purchase some accounting
software. Quickbooks,
Peachtree or something
where you can track
invoices, payments and
costs.
When filing your taxes,
supplying this
information to your CPA
will be much easier if
you have the capabilities
of printing out your
reports.
