Business bank account

Post by cappachino » Sun Oct 02, 2016 11:50 am

Hello All
Need opinion regarding business bank account.
If one has two businesses (both sole proprietor) and one business bank account used for both, would there be any issues?
As per guidance a sole proprietor can also use there personal account but says nothing regarding one bank account for both sole proprietor businesses.
As per HMRC its allowed to have one bank account but then this is UK Immigration.

A sole trader is essentially a self employed individual. You effectively do not have multiple separate entities or businesses. Using one bank account like a personal bank account is fine.

Thanks for your reply
What if two sole trader businesses operate from one bank account and this bank account is a business bank account

Again and again, there is no such a thing as having multiple sole trader businesses. A sole trader is a self employed individual not a business entity. You can use a single business or personal bank account for all your sole trading activities
