Why Separating Personal and Company Finances Is Crucial for Business Success

 

How often do you find yourself reaching for your personal card when making a company purchase? You might think, “It’s just one small expense. What’s the harm?” The thing about mixing personal and business finances is that it can quickly snowball into bigger problems for both employees and your company.

Using personal funds for company expenses might seem like the easiest option at the time, however, it leads to complications down the line. Employees are forced to bear risks tied to using personal funds, navigate manual claims processes, and face delays in reimbursements. Companies lack visibility over where the money is spent, making it hard to track expenses and manage budgets efficiently.

Using dedicated corporate expense cards for company purchases is a simple solution. But we are not referring to corporate credit cards, which are often limited to a select few in larger organizations. 

 

The Problem with Corporate Cards in Malaysia

For many Malaysian SMEs, securing a corporate card is a challenge due to the stringent requirements. To qualify, businesses need to prove consistent income and financial stability, which can be a difficult hurdle to overcome for newer and smaller companies.

This leaves the majority without the correct payment tools, who then resort to cash or personal cards, which is risky and involves manual claims processes towards the end of every month. The good news is that now, you do not need a corporate credit card.
