Opening a new business? Take payments from day one.
We’ll help you choose the right card machine and till, sort out the application and have everything set up before you open your doors.
What you’ll usually need
Every provider is slightly different, but most will ask for:
Business bank account
Your takings are paid into your business account.
Photo ID
For the business owners or company directors.
Proof of address
A recent bill or bank statement for the people named on the application.
Business details
Your company number, or your details if you’re a sole trader or partnership.
The payment provider carries out its own identity and business checks. We’ll tell you exactly what they need and help you with the application.

New business questions
How long does approval take?
It varies by provider, so it’s best to get in touch a few weeks before you open.
Do you work with sole traders?
Yes. We work with sole traders, partnerships and limited companies.
Can I get business funding as a new business?
Cash advances are usually only available once you’ve been trading for a few months. More about business funding.
