Hey all,

I launched my business less than a month ago. I've been working on it for the last 6-8 months: sourcing, going through samples, ordering, etc.

During all of this time, I've been using my own credit cards for the footwork. At this point, I am thinking of opening a bank account and maybe a credit card to keep track of expenses and see my progress on Quickbooks.

I have an account with Chase, and it's been fine. I've never banked with anyone else, opened it when it was WaMu in 2004 or so out of high school. I am thinking of opening another account with them.

As far as credit card goes, I am unsure on it. When I was in my early 20s, I opened a few cards: Visa, AMEX, and Discover.

I use the AMEX for everything I can, and pay it off monthly. The Visa and Discover cards haven't been used for a very long time, and have decent credit limit. I am thinking about using one or the other solely for business related expenses.

I would greatly appreciate any input/advice :)
