Our bank account opening service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business plan forms appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information, and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application.
Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
Time to form the company and opening the bank account
We prepare the pre-incorporation documents within a day (Constitution, Form 45, Nominee Director Service Contract) for your review and signature. The same day we receive the executed pre-incorporation documents, we file the company with ACRA and prepare the post-incorporation documents (board resolutions, share certificates and registers). The Bizfile (Registry Extract) is issued by ACRA on the same day of filing.
With regard to the bank account, it generally takes 1-3 days to prepare the pre-screening questionnaire (subject to Client feedback), and another 1-2 days for receiving the pre-approval from the banker. At that point, we schedule the videoconference call (generally, within 2-3 business days) with the banker. The account is generally opened 1-2 weeks after the videoconference call.
