Limited Company Dealing account

If you’re a director or secretary of a Limited Company, you can open a Dealing account in your company’s name.

Also known as a ‘corporate share Dealing account’, a Limited Company Dealing account is very similar to a typical Dealing account; however, it allows you to invest your company’s funds to grow the business further.

Here are some important things you need to know:

How to open an account

To open a Limited Company Dealing account, we need you to complete the below form, then post it to us.

The form needs to be signed by at least two company directors, or one director and the company secretary. You also need to choose a nominated contact who’ll run the account.

There’s a helpful set of instructions and tips at the top of the form itself. And of course, you’re welcome to get in touch with us if you have any questions.

Accounts are usually opened within 48 hours, although at times this can be slightly longer.
