Would like to mention I’m impressed with how easy Starling made it to open my account. Tide was a lot more hostile and point-blank refused me because I didn’t have a signed contract with a supplier/client.
Wild that they want a business customer who already has a business, rather than is trying to start trading. Glad to see Starling is more accomodating.
Also, does anyone know what you’d do if your business changed significantly in nature? For example, I’m just using this as a sole trader account to provide SaaS in X sector, but I’m very open to pivoting if it isn’t working out to something rather different
Would I have to reopen or is it something I could message Starling to change? ESP considering that the trading as thing is there
Heads up my business got booted off by Starling during their annual review because our ownership structure got too complicated for them. It’s really not complicated!
We ended up moving to Revolut who were one of the few free options that would accept us. Turns out their functionality is much better than either Monzo or Starling.
