Open a business banking account now

Applying online for our Business current account will take around 10-15 minutes to complete and will save you time in a branch. Once your form is submitted we’ll book you an appointment with a Local Business Manager, in a branch convenient for you, to make sure you have the right account and complete the process.

Please use this application if you are starting up a business, want to move your business account to Barclays and are either a:

  • Sole trader
  • Partnership (up to two partners) or
  • Limited company (up to two directors)

If you're thinking of starting a business or switching to Barclays you can also make an appointment with a Local Business Manager on 0845 601 0106 1

If you don’t fit into one of these categories, please call us on 0800 515 462 1

If you're an existing Barclays Business customer requiring an additional account, we can open one for you more easily if you contact us on 0845 605 2345 3
