Lloyds business account: how it works
Once your company is approved and incorporated with Companies House, our team will forward your details via a secure channel to Lloyds bank. Lloyds will then call you within two working days to set up a meeting with your dedicated business manager. During the call, they will brief you about the documents you need to bring to verify your identity. After the meeting, your Lloyds business account will be activated, normally within one to two days.
Whether you are starting out or setting up a new business, Lloyds’ business banking experts will offer professional guidance and advice to help you handle your online banking with ease.
In addition to Lloyds’ telephonic support, you will also benefit from a dedicated business banking manager on hand to answer questions at any time.
