If we need to make further checks to verify your business, we may ask you to send in proof of trading.

You can provide us with one of the following:

  • Evidence of membership from a regulatory body or a relevant professional or trade association

  • A utility bill in your trading name

  • A copy of your VAT registration

  • A copy of your latest accounts or tax return

  • A copy of an in date public liability or indemnity insurance policy

  • An invoice for work completed dated within the last three months

  • An online presence such as a website or social media account

  • Bank Statement (excluding Mettle) dated within last six months

  • HMRC self assessment tax return (most recent)

  • Self assessment registration (including UTR)

If you're unable to provide any of these at the moment, you can skip this part of the process but we'll need to see proof of trading within six months of your account being opened. If you don't provide this within six months we'll be in touch to discuss next steps.
