How to Open a Business Account for Non UK Residents


If you are looking to open a business account for non UK resident then you may find you will struggle as many of the main UK business account providers will insist all directors and major shareholders are UK residents. 

Do I need to travel to the UK to open a Business account?

So you can easily register a new UK Limited company at Companies House, meaning the opening of a business account for non UK residents is often the biggest issue, especially as it can be an essential part of owning a UK registered company. 


Why is it essential to open an account in the UK?

 

It is essential for any UK registered company to have a UK business account as HMRC will only recognise UK based accounts plus if you are trading in British pounds (GBP) then anything other than having a UK sort-code & account number here will almost certainly mean your transactions will carry an International payment.

Also, for those businesses that trade in the UK with a registered company will need a UK business account to make and receive local payments, which will save a considerable amount of transaction costs compared to using an account outside the UK.
