It accepts payments worldwide and it\u2019s possible to swap and hold a large range of currencies. Revolut lets account holders add an unlimited number of team members (unlike many business accounts that restrict access to 1 or 2 company directors). It also offers a wide range of features, such as creating and tracking invoices and linking to accounting software. There\u2019s a lot to like about this account, and now that Revolut is a licensed bank it also offers FSCS protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n  <ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">    <li

They might offer features, such as free accounting software, invoice tools or programmes to help improve the way you run your business.<\/p><p>You might also find that some startup accounts have a free introductory period. However, once the promotional period ends, the account automatically converts to a normal business account. Once it converts, you might have to pay a monthly fee. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/business-banking\/business-switching-offers\">compare business accounts with sign-up bonuses here<\/a>.<\/p><p>Also, keep in mind that some banks don\u2019t offer a dedicated account for startups and only offer one type of business account. <\/p><h3>Does a startup need a business bank account?<\/h3><p>You will need a separate business bank account if you are set up as a limited company. A limited company is a separate legal entity from you, and the money belongs to your business, so you must have a separate bank account from your personal one.<\/p><p>This is mainly for accounting reasons, as your business transactions should be clearly shown. It\u2019s much easier to be transparent about your business expenses if all the payments relate to your company rather than being muddled with your personal transactions. <\/p><p>You might find that many banks just won\u2019t process company payments into a personal account anyway, so you may not have much choice other than using a business account.<\/p><p>If you are a sole trader, this might be less of an issue because your business is not legally separate from you. But it\u2019s still a good idea to have different accounts for personal and business transactions.<\/p><p>Business bank accounts also tend to come with extra features that might be useful for your new company and can make you seem more credible. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/business-banking\/personal-account-for-business\">this topic here<\/a>.<\/p><h3>How to choose a business account as a startup?<\/h3><p>If you\u2019ve never run a business before, it might be hard to imagine what you might need from a bank account, but it\u2019s important to think about this carefully. <\/p><p>Here are some things to consider: <\/p><ul><li><strong>Customer support.<\/strong> If you\u2019ve got a 24-hour business, you might want to look for a bank with round-the-clock support.<\/li><li><strong>Invoicing.<\/strong> Some accounts make it easy to create invoices and mark them as paid or notify you when a company has missed the payment date.<\/li><li><strong>Accounting software.<\/strong> Most business accounts let you link to accounting software, but some give you access to this for free.<\/li><li><strong>Restrictions.<\/strong> Check your chosen bank\u2019s requirements because it may have restrictions on things like the type of business or annual turnover, which might rule out some accounts.<\/li><li><strong>Customer satisfaction.<\/strong> It\u2019s also worth looking at reviews from existing customers to see if the bank\u2019s service is up to scratch.<\/li><\/ul><h3>How to apply for a startup account (what documents you need)<\/h3><p>The banks have different requirements to set up a startup bank account, but most need:<\/p><ul><li>A form of ID, like a driving licence, passport or national ID card<\/li><li>Proof of your address<\/li><li>Your registered company number or name (if you\u2019re a limited company)<\/li><li>Your unique tax reference number<\/li><li>Information about the nature of the business<\/li><\/ul><p>The bank could likely ask for other documents, too, particularly if you\u2019re opening a limited company account. <\/p><p>For example, you might need to provide details about the shareholders and directors of the company, who may also need to carry out an identity check.<\/p><p>Depending on the nature of your business, you might need to provide other documents, such as proof of:<\/p><ul><li>Qualifications, registrations or licences<\/li><li>Property ownership<\/li><li>Membership to an industry body<\/li><\/ul><p>The exact documents you need to provide might not be evident until you apply for an account.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Given that most startup bank accounts are free, you shouldn\u2019t have to worry about bank fees.<\/p><p>They also typically come with features that suit a new business, so they are worth checking out. That\u2019s not to say that you specifically need a startup business account. But as other business bank accounts may charge you fees, you\u2019ll need to make sure they\u2019re worth the extra cost. <\/p><p>It\u2019s important to compare features and other perks of the various bank accounts, as they could make a difference to the future of your business.
