Stage 05 — Startup Launch
The bank account, the premises, and the first thirty days
The stage that stalls most founders. We prepare the bank file before it is submitted, so it is approved rather than returned.
What is included
Bank rejections are predictable — and preventable
Accounts are rarely refused because the business is weak. They are refused because the activity reads vaguely, the source of funds is thin, or the shareholder profile raises a question the file does not answer. All three are fixable before submission.

- File preparation — activity description, source of funds, business plan extract and shareholder profiles.
- Interview preparation — the questions the relationship manager will ask, and your answers rehearsed.
- Premises — office or flexi-desk selected, negotiated, contracted and registered.
- Fit-out coordination — signage, furniture and internet, scheduled against your opening date.
- Opening campaign — announcement, launch offer and the first thirty days of content.
