We’ll submit your application to Companies House as soon as you’ve completed all the steps required to open a Countingup account.
Once submitted, we closely monitor the status of your application. As soon as it’s approved, your Countingup business current account will be opened and you’ll receive a notification to let you know 🎉
In most cases, Companies House processes applications within 1–3 working days. However, the exact timing can vary depending on when the application is submitted.
👉 Things that can cause delays
-
Weekends – Companies House doesn’t process applications on Saturdays or Sundays.
-
Bank holidays – No applications are processed during UK public holidays.
-
Scheduled maintenance – There may be occasional service downtime.
-
Friday submissions – Applications submitted late on Fridays may not be reviewed until the following Monday or later.
These delays are outside of our control and even though we’d love to speed things up for you, we’re unable to fast-track applications 🕒
