When you register your company with Mint Formations, you become eligible for a free business current account with Lloyds bank. After your company registration process is complete, we will make it easy for you to apply for a business current account with Lloyds.
A business bank account is essential in the UK for trading as a limited company, as it’s not recommended to conduct business transactions using a personal account.
Running your own business can be a challenge, but you can take your next steps with confidence knowing that your company and business bank account can be set up all without you lifting a finger or having to complete a mountain of complex paperwork.
By choosing to opt for a business bank account via Mint Formations , you not only save time and effort, but you can also be confident that the banking process will be completed quickly — perfect for if you want to start trading immediately.
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.
