All UK Limited companies require a UK bank account to start trading. Our Bank Account Opening Team have built up strong personal relationships with the leading UK banks in London and will start the process of securing the right UK bank account for your business immediately. They will arrange an introductory meeting with a leading UK bank, attend the initial face-to-face meeting with you and help you complete the relevant application forms.
This will significantly cut the time it takes to open your bank account in the UK and reduces the risk of being declined by the bank. If you are declined, many UK banks will not allow you to reapply for 6 months.
You do not need a UK residential address to open a UK bank account for your company, however you will need to attend the bank meeting in person and bring your ID documents with you. Please note, if you are outside the EU you may need to provide a business visa. Without a UK bank account, it is unlikely that the UK VAT office will issue you with a VAT number.

Before you attend the bank meeting you will be required to produce a photo ID (valid passport or driving licence). You will also be required to produce two forms of proof of your current home address (such as a recent utility bill or personal bank statement which is less than three months old). The documents must be translated into English. Please note, customers outside the EU may need to provide a business visa.

Our tax and banking partners work with all the leading banks in the UK.
Once all documents have been provided to the bank, you can expect your bank account to be opened within 2 to 4 weeks.
The assistance fee for opening a UK bank account does not guarantee the opening of an account. The final decision lies with the bank. If you meet all the requirements outlined in the T&Cs, but we are unable to facilitate the opening of a bank account, you will be entitled to a full refund of the fee relating to the bank account opening. Please note this Money Back Guarantee does not extend to any other out of pocket expenses such as travel and accommodation.
