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.
