Business Accounts Explained
- What are Business Accounts?
Business Accounts are specifically designed to accomodate your businesses needs with a range of convenient features for both savings and transactional purposes to help you to manage your business finances with ease.
- Will I be approved for a business account?
If you own a business you are eligible for a business bank account but it is down to the bank you apply to as to whether your application is accepted. If you are a relatively new company, it may be an idea to provide some details regarding your business, such as financial forecasts and a detailed business plan.
- What will the bank want to know?
If you are an existing company then you are likely to be required to provide details of how you have managed your finances up until now. The bank you apply to may wish to carry out a credit check based on your previous bank accounts in order to assess a number of factors such as outstanding debts or any other potential problems that could accompany risk.
