Need Assistance Opening UK Bank Account or EMI for UK Ltd Company For Non-Resident Directors

[heavyhitter2020]

Dear Offshorecorptalk Members,

My business partner and I need some assistance opening up a UK bank account or equivalent for our financial services business. Our business is a LTD company with the shares being individually held by both my business partner and I who are also the directors of the company. Both directors are Australia citizens. We either need assistance with the following:

1. Setting up a bank account or EMI which has a sort code and account number and can receive domestic payments
2. Finding a local resident director with existing banking relationships who can help us in establishing a bank account with a high street bank

We are looking for a solution straight away so please get in contact to discuss.

Thanks

What is a financial services business? Do you hold all licences for that?

How much turnover? Maybe try WorldFirst, OFX, Airwallex?

We are still pre-revenue due to being unable to open a bank account. Have tried all of the above options with no luck. UK accounts seem to be very difficult to open.

We should be abld to help with an account for a UK company in Cyprus, provided the operation is solid.

Will it have a sort-code with account number?
