What happens if Companies House rejects my application for a limited company?

If Companies House rejects your application it’s up to you if you want to make any changes that can be made in order to qualify your business. If you’d like you can then reapply using the wamo service.

Unfortunately, if Companies House rejects your application, we won’t be able to open a wamo business current account for you.

What happens if wamo is unable to accept my account application?

In some cases, we will be unable to offer you a business current account. It’s worth reading this article outlining some of the reasons.

Sometimes, we will already have submitted your application to Companies House. In this case, you will have an incorporated UK company but not a wamo account. It’s also possible that we may withhold a submission to Companies House. If this happens, it would still be worthwhile trying to register a limited company directly with gov.uk.

Please keep an eye on your inbox for the status of your application and advisable next steps.
