Before your first investment, did you talk to a CPA?
Wondering if find and talking to a CPA in the process of getting a first investment would be a good idea. I assume they will let you know the best way to send, receive money in a business account and other things to consider. Consultation is free in most cases, so figured it might make sense to do so, and go back to them in a year to do taxes with them.
