    How can a 16-year-old get a business bank account?

    @NReilly Yeah I did sort this. I looked at Mettle and that's what they told us (even though I know that's not true from my own experience. We ended up going to Barclays as Paul helpfully mentioned above. Their staff were quite rude - the woman who opened the account acted as though she couldn't...

    New company type help?

    Hello, I've been involved in the world of private equity for about 10 years now, and have always dreamed of starting my own company, saving most of my wage and bonuses during this time - especially in lockdown. I've even managed to convince my twin brother (who works at the same private equity...

    What Type of Business is This?

    Hi, I’ve got a similar kind of thing. I’ve recently become aware of a real estate business deal (buying some land with planning permission already on it and then building houses on them to sell on) that’s currently being advertised by a “business broker”.

    In what regards would I have to pay capital gains? I don't plan on "selling" the company to my holdings company, I just plan on "giving" it if you will.

    Incorporate Holdings Company - Yay or nay?

    Hi all, I'm sorry if this isn't the right area, I just didn't know where else to post this. I'm currently considering incorporating one of the businesses I've been running for a while now. Having a couple of other businesses that I'll probably end up incorporating before the end of the...

    How can a 16-year-old get a business bank account?

    Hi Paul, thanks for the reply, the forum that discusses that is over ten years old. Obviously banking regulations have changed considerably since then, and I can't find anything pre-2013 to see if they still do it. If you've found something different that's more modern, please share it! Thanks...

    How can a 16-year-old get a business bank account?

    Hi all, I've been running a digital marketing company for the past three years using a combination of Paypal, Payoneer and one of my personal bank accounts (my "business" account if you will, whilst others have my personal money). My business has boomed over lockdown, even though many...
