What is a Company Account?
A Company Account allows you to trade in the name of a UK limited company in a diverse range of investments, including UK and international equities, funds, ETFs and investment trusts.
You can authorise up to four nominated individuals to place trades and manage the account on behalf of the company, and trading can be done online or over the phone.
Benefits of a Company Account
Corporate accounts work in largely the same way as normal share dealing accounts – with some additional advantages such as:
- Flexibility in accessing certain asset classes
- The opportunity to claim back expenses, such as subscription fees against tax
How to open a Company Account
