"But before you can do that, you need to figure out which package you want. The crucial factor is that in order to open a bank account, you will need a printed Certificate of Incorporation."
This is not true. I have registered a few companies and not once did they care about the printed certificate. They will call Companies House or email them and confirm you are a director and the company exists.
Note: My bank is Lloyds TSB.

- swombat 15y agoAh, your experience differs from mine, then. Every time I opened a bank account (HSBC and Lloyds too) they asked for a copy of the printed certificate of incorporation. Maybe it depends on your branch?
- jamii 15y agoI opened a business account with Lloyds last month and they were happy with an electronic copy of the certificate.
- swombat 15y agoI've updated the article to mention this. Thanks for bringing it up!
- ig1 15y agoSantander were perfectly happy with a printed copy of the electronic version
- petercooper 15y agoYep, they'd need to be happy with it, even, as you don't get a printed one nowadays if you register directly with Companies House online! :-)
