Business2business - please do not spread incorrect information on this forum.

Where does it say in the policy guidance that business account is a must?

How do you know that it is the most important requirement?

Can you please explain?

if you are running a business or registered your company and your are a director then you must have a business account, how would you deal cash flow or invoices without business account.

There are a lot of members in the forum including me who have got the visa without a business account.

But yes, I agree if you have a business account that your application looks more genuine and you can show all your transaction history with the application by submitting a statement.

However as I said before, it is not a must. Initially you can show the transactions in your personal current account if you want to.

Hope that helps.

Business Account itself is an ID of your business specially if you are director of ltd company. It means if you show a ltd company then you should at least go for basic elements associated with ltd company.

It is not mentioned in policy guidance. But when we talk about 'Director of Ltd Company' then we should consider other things associated with it.

As far as visa issuance is concerned then everybody knows that some got visas even company house report was an online print and some refused because it was not issued through company house by paying them... Was it mentioned in the policy?
Format of contract is not given in policy guidance but so many people refused because of contact details in the contract. Similarly caseworkers objected that services are not satisfactorily mentioned in contract... Was this mentioned in the policy?

Simply prepare a complete and logical file without following -- who got visa by doing what?

Business is a must for a Limited company but you can submit your application without it.

Please, try and get your business account sorted just incase they ask for it. Some banks gives 12 -18 months free banking, so you have got nothing to lose.
