Few questions about setting up new business account?
 

hi
ive got a few spare bank accounts ready for new stealth account.

ive got a few personal accounts running and working fine, but id like a few business account now

for stealth in the past ive used various setups

1. altered name, altered address,
2. real name, altered address,
3. altered name, real address

all seem to be ok, but i do not want to get linked in the furture, so is option 1 the best?


now for a new business account, i want to do it right.
what paperwork or id am i going to get asked for by ebay or paypal?

in ebay, do i register as a business user, with a business name and a f@ke name and address?

in paypal, i can use an altered or f@ke address.

i will get a 1900 receiving limit. then ill need to provide photo id, utility bill, and what else for a business account?


i just want to get it right before i setup the accounts and waste the bank accounts.

ive setup loads of account before but i have always used personal accounts.


last thing, ive got a working business ebay account on ebay from around 2 years ago. ive not used it since then. it has an altered personal name on the account. if i setup a paypal with matching name and address is it safe to use them together, or should i just setup and use a brand new ebay and paypal?

thanks

also

i have access to receive mail at two "unit" numbers.

if i regster no1 business account at this

my first business name
unit 3
street name
town
post code

then i register business account no 2 at this

my second business name
unit 4
street name
town
postcode


will different unit numbers link them together?
i will have to put a name on the accounts, so i assume i cant use the same name on both or it will get linked.
do i use a different name on both?

when/if i get asked for id or documents, i dont live at the unit no and its pretty obvious because its a unit. so what id would paypal or ebay want and what address would they want from me? the living and working addresses will be different

thanks

Since I am not familiar with UK stuff, not much to provide for business registration - all the best as your folx contribute.
