Banking services for businesses in the United Kingdom
Starting your own business is one of the most exciting, profitable decisions that you will ever make. It will also be one of the most time-consuming decisions that you’ll ever make. We make banking one less thing for you to worry about by helping you open a business bank account with a local provider quickly. As a trusted provider, we have helped clients from different industries across Birmingham and the rest of the UK with their first business account. We make sure you don’t have to wait for weeks before you can start trading and making money.
Why not just open a business account with a big bank?
Firstly, you can’t go straight to a big bank and open an account for a new business immediately. Some banks don’t offer smaller start-ups an appointment. Instead, they ask all new applicants to fill-out various forms online, which can be a lengthy and confusing process.
In banks that offer new business account applicants a meeting, you might have to wait three weeks for an appointment. Your business would miss out on banking profits for nearly a whole month!

Again, you might have to wait nearly a month for a response, only to be told that essentially ‘the computer said no’ because the algorithms used to scan your application didn’t see the potential in your business. Any human would have seen this potential easily.
That’s why we make sure that our office is full of lovely humans, who have spent years providing tailored financial advice to business across a huge range of sectors.

FAQ
Do I need a business bank account?
What’s the difference between a personal bank account and business bank account?
A personal bank account used to manage your personal finances. It gives you the possibility to make payments and receive money in your name.
A business bank account, on the other hand, is designed for transactions in your company’s name. It is used for making business-related payments, such as payroll and business invoices. A business bank account often is subject to monthly fees.
Who are you business banking services for?
We help start-up SMEs in the UK to open a business bank account that suits their needs.
How do I open a business bank account?
Depending on the bank you choose, you could open a business bank account online or in your local branch. However, obtaining a meeting in person can be subject to weeks-long waiting periods and online application forms can be time-consuming and hard to follow.
As an alternative, you can contact our banking experts at Apt Pay who will help you find the perfect bank account in a local bank and will ensure that you can open your account quickly (a few working days).
What do I need to set up a business account?
In addition to the personal details and documents required for opening a personal bank account (photo ID and proof of address), you will also need to provide your business details, including registered name and address, date of incorporation and company registration number.
Can you open a business account with bad credit?
If you have a County Court Judgement (CCJ) or you have been bankrupt in the past five years, your bad credit history may affect your eligibility to open a business bank account.
