Unfortunately unless you have a passport or driving licence you can't open up an account. Official ID like the Post Office PASS, which is a photo ID, with name and address and approved by the home office and find for Etsy is not good enough for them. So some small businesses can't use them.
@basicsofbizАй бұрын
Yup, the Post Office PASS doesn't seem to be accepted by a lot of the banks we suspect because it's a proof of age card rather than a proof of ID. Seems Natwest and Lloyds are part of the few that do though however they definitely seem to be in the minority.
@Ziplock9000Ай бұрын
@@basicsofbiz I contacted NatWest and they said they don't accept it. Although it's tagged as a proof of age, it's actually a proof of identity too as it has a picture, address and name. It also has the same vigorous application process that a more traditional ID has. It's silly banks don't accept it.

If your company has been 'dissolved' and no longer exists you can't file anything. If a company is 'dormant' by comparison and has never been used or traded etc however you do still have to file a confirmation statement and dormant accounts.

Can i use Wise, just as conversion money tool and once i received money from clients in $, transfer into Euros so then i can finally transfer to my company banks account? Does we need any invoice to show the rate we did the conversion and does Wise allow this method of use?
@basicsofbiz2 ай бұрын
Yes you can use it like that and that's exactly how I use it for one of my businesses being paid in $ and then transferring into £. Wise generates a receipt recording the rate at the time of transfer which your bookkeeper or accountant can then use to confirm the conversion rate, fees etc. Hope this helps 👍

Best information to boot, so far ;) My biggest worry for me is the 'KYC (know your customer)' process and supplying biometric data to these 'businesses'. The 'selfie' video for one and whether this information might be shared with various third party customers. If there were a breach of security, I wouldn't be able to change my fingertip or face in comparison to a pin number or memorable information. Secondly, with the push for CBDC, might there be a risk of shutting down an account if the 'powers that be' don't like the way you choose to operate; fairly or not? Do you have any information on this at all? Thanks.
@basicsofbiz3 ай бұрын
Many thanks and delighted you found the video helpful. The security aspects are tough for sure. Appreciate your concerns about sharing an every increasing amount of data for different types but on the banks side to be fair they would be fined out of business if they didn't conduct a very stringent KYC process to check people's identity and verify the source of money. We don't have any information on this specific topic unfortunately but hopefully the KYC processes going forward will get the balance right.

Very helpful and informative video! Great channel, keep up the good word! I have a question about the "principal place of business"; I want to register an online software business, and as I have a virtual office address, I am wondering if I can use that office address also as "principal place of business". The virtual office company states that I can use that address as "Business Trading Address" as well as "Registered office". I am wondering if setting that virtual address as "principal place of business" instead of my home where I will be doing most of the work, will have any legal implications or not? I would appreciate your answer on this, if you could give more details, given it is really just a software company with just 1 person/director.

Hi thank you, this was helpful. I have a question, I have just started 3 jobs/businesses. 1 - Amazon Delivery driver, self-employed 4 days a week, £1,600 pcm 2 - Sales rep B2B engineering, self-employed, one client, commission only, yet to start expected £1,000 pcm 3 - Drone operator geo surveying and crop analysis, not yet started £???? pcm My question; Getting the drone business up and running will cost around £10k in equipment, however, if I was registered I could claim back the VAT. It would seem that being registered from the start will save me money, and as it will be B2B any work I do will be with VAT-registered customers. But what if it doesn't work out, will I need to pay back the VAT on the equipment I purchased? Also, dose my self-employed work have any impact on setting up the drone business on companies house? Apologies if im asking silly questions I have only just started looking into it

What is a Trading/Business Name separate from the Official LTD name? Where do we register our Trading name? How many Trading names can a single LTD own? And how can new business owners take advantage of this from a Marketing perspective? And can we use words in our Trading name which are considered sensitive by Companies house for official registration of Companies? Why are some words considered sensitive by Companies House and how to maybe get through this regulation? Thank you! :D 👍
@basicsofbiz5 ай бұрын
You don't have to register trading names with Companies House and you can have as many as you want. Again though you need to take care not to infringe on any other businesses trademarks with your trading names and of course you can consider registering your own trading name as a trademark - e.g. ABC Limited trading as Apples, Biscuits and Cakes for Sale. As for sensitive words here is a list of them at Companies House - . www.gov.uk/government/publications/incorporation-and-names/annex-a-sensitive-words-and-expressions-or-words-that-could-imply-a-connection-with-government - Hope this helps 👍
