Tide limited company bank account – £50 cashback for LCH visitors

If you’re setting up a new limited company, one of your first tasks will be to set up a business bank account. Here we look at the features of Tide’s business account – which includes £50 cashback for our visitors.

A separate account for your limited company

As your limited company is a distinct legal entity in its own right, you must not use your personal bank account for the business. You must open a dedicated account for the company.

Every business is different, so your banking needs will also be different. You may trade in the UK, overseas, or both. You may have hundreds of monthly transactions, or just a few. You may deal with cash or just electronic payments.

With most new businesses using online accounting software, most banking providers can now integrate your bank transactions with your accounts, making life a lot easier. Make sure your bank account can synchronise!

Whatever type of business you run (or are thinking of running), make sure you read our guide to choosing the right bank account for your business.
