Posts: 2 Newbie
We have a small UK LTD company which manages a UK property for letting.
The owner/directors are my children - both UK and Italian citizens, and resident in Italy
I am a further director - UK citizen and resident in Italy
My sister is a further director - UK citizen and resident in the UK.
We have just been debanked by Cashplus - we don't know why.
Which UK bank will let us open a business account?
If "none", how is this possible - a legitimate UK company cannot operate...

Would be better for your UK based sister to talk to some banks on the situation & if they can help.
Only cashplus could explain why. But possible due to several people being liable for taxes in more than one country.Life in the slow lane0 -
I have no knowledge or experience in this area, but out of curiosity I googled:UK business with directors resident abroad bank accountThis was one of the resultsThis webpage suggests non-resident directors find it more difficult to get accounts because of the increased difficulty of verifying ID and credit history. Which is maybe why Cashplus terminated your account.The web page has more information, but it is a site aimed at helping non-resident directors. Use at your own risk.
