What’s the most common challenge every small business owner faces in their business? Based on feedback we’ve gotten from members, managing payroll is definitely on that list. 

When you are a solopreneur, creating a system to pay yourself a salary monthly can be tough. And when you start having employees, making sure employees receive their salaries on time is another challenge you could face. 

The fact is, various small business owners can’t afford an accountant who will handle all of these on their behalf. The good news is that’s why we created Prospa, to serve as your business partner and ease these challenges.

In this guide, we’ll show you how you can pay salary to yourself and multiple employees every month without going to the bank or making manual transfers. This process only requires a one-time setup and you are good to go!
