Sole trader applying for BBL with Halifax personal account

For anyone that uses their Halifax current account for personal and business use and to who doesn't already know, you can apply for a BBL with Lloyds or Bank of Scotland.
I originally applied for a feeder account with HSBC on the 6th May but I got fed up waiting, so begun looking elsewhere and by chance found out the way for Halifax customers to easily apply for a BBL.
Go to this link and follow instructions: halifaxDOTcoDOTuk /helpcentre /coronavirus /bounce-back-loan-scheme /?LB=3359919513 (replace the DOT's and remove the spaces)
My timescale of applying and receiving loan.
22nd- Applied for Lloyds Business Account through Halifax.
23rd- Account opened and email received with sort code, account number and link to apply for BBL/ Applied for Bounce Back Loan/ Facility email received.
28th- Authentication card and card reader arrive/ Access online bank for first time/ Money in account.
As simple as that. I haven't signed anything or sent them any documents, I've not heard from them since the 23rd.
Money available and transferred.
Hope this will help.
