Business Till vs Personal M-PESA
Many small business owners start by receiving customer payments on a personal M-PESA number. This may work at first, but it can create confusion as the business grows.
Personal spending becomes mixed with business income
When personal and business money share the same account, it becomes difficult to know how much money the business actually made.
Business records become harder to trust
If school fees, shopping, transport and business sales are all mixed together, the end-of-day balance may not explain business performance clearly.
A business till improves separation
A separate business till or payment account makes it easier to track customer payments, compare sales and review daily balances.
Still record everything properly
Even with a business till, you still need proper records for sales, expenses, withdrawals and transfers.
