What's included
Everything in PayPal Business Setup
Business account registration
The account is opened in your UK company's registered name, with the company number and registered office matching the public record exactly. Mismatches are the single most common cause of holds.
Verification pack prepared
Certificate of Incorporation, director ID and proof of address assembled in the format PayPal's review team expects, so you are not uploading documents twice.
Business profile configured
Business type, category and description set to match what you genuinely sell. Vague or mismatched descriptions are what trigger reviews later.
Payout destination linked
We connect your Wise Business UK account details (or your own bank) so withdrawals work from the first sale.
Website compliance check
We review your refund, shipping, privacy and contact pages against PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy before applying, and tell you what to fix.
Support through document requests
If PayPal asks for supplier invoices, tracking data or proof of delivery after your first sales, we help you respond properly instead of letting a hold sit.
Who this is for
Is this the right fit for you?
E-commerce sellers with global buyers
Many buyers still trust PayPal above any other checkout option; missing it costs conversions.
Freelancers invoicing individuals
PayPal invoicing is the path of least resistance for smaller clients who will not do a bank transfer.
Sellers on marketplaces and social channels
Etsy, eBay and direct social selling still lean heavily on PayPal for buyer payments.
Anyone rejected using personal details
A registered company with matching documentation is a fundamentally stronger application than a personal account in an unsupported country.
What you need to provide
- Certificate of Incorporation and company number (we already have these if we formed your company)
- Director passport or national ID
- Proof of address dated within the last 3 months
- A live website or storefront, or a clear written description of what you sell
- Expected monthly sales volume and average order value
- Bank or Wise account details for withdrawals
Timeline
Day 1
We review your website and documents against PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy and tell you what to fix.

Account created and the business profile completed with your company details.
Day 2 to 5
PayPal completes verification. Some accounts are approved immediately; others get a document request.

What we cannot promise
PayPal makes its own risk decision and may limit or decline an account at any point, including after approval. We can prepare a clean, accurate application and respond quickly to reviews. We cannot override PayPal's risk team, and we will never claim to.
