New BBL application query

Ok so I’ve struggled but I have now successfully opened a business account (instead of using my personal account) and they have emailed me the application form for a bounce back loan instead of online, due to the pending end date. The bank have been very helpful! But I have a query - I am a self employed sole trader and I don’t have a business company number. Does this matter? FYI I have been self employed for a few years now and received the SEISS grants, I’m just worried I couldn’t fill that in on the form!

To have a company number your business must be a registered limited company rather than a sole trader or a partnership.0

I am a sole trader and my application went straight through with very few questions and of course no company number.
With that I will add I had my business account for years before covid happened.
