UK business account for non-residents

You can choose from different GoSolo plans based on the features you need. For current and most up-to-date details about the costs, please refer to our pricing page.

GoSolo offers business accounts only for UK-based and UK-registered companies.

If you're living abroad and want to set up a business in the UK, we can register a limited company for you. You will get a virtual business address and a virtual debit card for all your business transactions, quick and easy.

Our current pricing plans are here.

We are working hard to bring international payments and currency exchange directly to the GoSolo app, but at the moment, these features are not available.

For now, you can use alternative services such as Payoneer, Paysend, or Wise to send and accept payments from abroad.

Opening a business account is simple with GoSolo. All you need is the following documents:

• A valid government-issued photo ID document (passport, driving licence, BRP)
• Proof of your address (council tax, utility bill, bank statement), issued in the last three months

The process is very easy:

1. Fill out the application form (takes less than 10 minutes).

2. Our team will review your documents and respond to you as soon as possible with our decision.

3. Once your application is approved, you will have immediate access to a GoSolo business account and a Mastercard debit card.

GoSolo has its own policy and makes a final decision based on multiple factors, so we cannot guarantee that your application will be successful.

But if you applied for a paid service and we could not open you an account, we will make a full refund unless the application was fraudulent.

Yes, you can. GoSolo is available to founders and entrepreneurs from around the world.

GoSolo provides the UK company formation and a business account for non-residents. Here, you can read more about how it works.

In order to open a business account, banks are required to verify the identity/identities of the director(s) of a company. This is done in order to make sure that you are who you say you are. Similarly, GoSolo requires directors of a company to complete ID verification checks. As we are 100% digital, we ask you to complete ID verification online. We currently only accept passports, driving licences, and identity cards as valid ID documents. If you do not have any of these documents, we suggest applying for a business account in one of the UK high-street banks that can accept other ID documents (such as Barclays, Lloyds Bank, HSBC, etc.).

No legal restrictions prohibit non-UK residents from opening a business account in the UK. But many banks may not accept applications without proof of address within the UK. Traditional financial institutions will also require a face-to-face meeting before providing the business account, in which you will sign a bank mandate to avoid fraud concerns.

An alternative option is to open a virtual business account, but you will need to order a company registration service from a special provider. So it could take some time and additional expenses.

With GoSolo, you can register an LTD company in the UK, open a business account, get a virtual company address and a debit Mastercard business card—all in one place, spending less than 10 mins on application.

And you won’t need proof of address within the UK.

Opening a business account in GoSolo takes less than 10 minutes of your time, then your details will be sent for verification. If everything is ok, you will get a business account the same or the next day.

If you're opening a business account and creating a new company at the same time, the verification might take a little bit longer because we'll be sending your claim to Companies House.

In GoSolo we made the business account opening process quick and simple, even for non-UK residents.

If you live in the United Kingdom, you need a valid government-issued photo ID document (passport, driving licence, BRP) and proof of your UK address (council tax, utility bill, bank statement).

For non-UK residents, you can check our dedicated page for international clients.
