Setup sequence

Company, bank account, tax: which comes first?

The steps of a setup depend on one another, and starting in the wrong order can leave you with a company you cannot yet use. The decision question is the sequence that fits your plan, including which step is likely to hold up the rest.

DependenciesBottlenecksParallel stepsWritten view
Dependencies, not a checklist

Find the step that holds up the others

Some steps cannot start until another is complete, such as needing a registered entity before a provider will talk to you. Others can run side by side. Planning means finding the longest chain of dependencies and starting it first, rather than working through steps in the order they appear in a generic list.

We do not promise how long any step takes or whether any provider will accept the company. The assessment names the dependencies so you can plan around them.

Where plans can stall

Where plans can stall

Banking is treated as a formality

Banks and payment providers review the company, its owners and its activity. If they are approached late, a gap in the paperwork can freeze everything else.

Registration before the owner's own position is clear

If the owner's residence and obligations are not understood, the company may need to be redone.

Activity described differently to different parties

A mismatch between the registered purpose, the bank application and the website invites follow-up questions.

Tax registration left for later

Some activities require registration before the first sale. Whether yours does is something to confirm, not assume.

Step by step

A sequence we would test against your plan

The order below is a pattern to test, not a fixed rule.

01

Fix the facts

Owners, residence, activity, expected counterparties and where money will come from.

02

Decide the structure

Which entity type and place fit those facts.

03

Plan when banking questions should be raised

Decide at which point in the sequence to start those conversations, so that the timing does not hold up the rest.

04

Form, then register for what is required

Registration steps are separate services; the assessment says which registrations to ask about.

05

Confirm readiness to trade

Only start taking money when the financial and tax pieces are actually in place.

Account opening is a separate service. The assessment describes the sequence only.
