So I've hit the ground running recently... did some research, decided what type of business in general I wanted to do, started talking to some potential customers and got some ideas, worked with my home state and started an LLC by myself, researched organizational papers and figured out what I'd have to do if I ever took on other partners, got a Tax ID, setup a website, found someone to do some custom logo design for me and forged a future relationship with them, all this stuff is happening... and yet I cannot seem to open a freaking business bank account.
It is so frustrating. Against my better judgement I started dealing with a large corporate bank because they had a really good deal going for technical small businesses... but now we are just sending documents back and forth, sometimes it takes days to respond... it is frustrating. I'm on the verge of just abandoning that and going with a small local bank now.
It's funny how something so basic can cause you to pump the brakes... I am viewing it as a learning process on who I want to deal with when I get my business going.
I thought this might lend itself to an interesting discussion... what are some of the Fastlane speed bumps you have encountered? Were they unexpected? How did you deal with them?
