As part of your StartNewBusiness package, we will open a bank account for your company with Barclays Bank plc., completely ready for business.

We don't need to tell you about Barclays - their track record with small businesses speaks for itself. We have even customised our Business Planning Toolkit to produce forecasts and budgets in Barclays' usual format.

Please note that this service is subject to credit checks and acceptance by the bank. You will also have to prove who you are. If you are not already a Barclays customer, you will usually have to go your branch with photo ID and a recent utility bill.

Naturally, if you want to deal with your own personal bank, there is no problem with you doing so. Let us know, and we will help you speed through the process by sending your branch a snapshot of your company and a copy of its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
