I run (alone) a small personal service where all of my clients pay in cash. The accounting is so simple that I just keep my taxes in my personal account and the few receipts for deductables off to the side. I also just use my personal email address for interactions which are never much. I'm considering accepting online payments through my website instead of just using my website for scheduling. I currently have a PayPal personal account.
Do I need a second PayPal Business account or do I need to upgrade my personal one? If so, would I then need separate bank accounts and a separate email account? I want to keep things as simple as possible. The business is very simple. Very few deductions, taxes to the side. No employees.
