How decisions work

How long a decision takes

Because the first assessment is automated, many applications from limited companies and LLPs receive an outcome shortly after submission. Some take a little longer when a closer look is needed.

What helps a fast result

  • Connecting your business bank account so trading is visible instantly
  • Company details that match Companies House records
  • A complete application with nothing left blank

What can add time

  • Applications referred for a human to review
  • Requests for additional documents or clarification
  • Information that needs to be verified against other sources

If your application is referred

A referral is not a decline. It simply means a person will look more closely before a final outcome. We will keep you informed and contact you if we need anything further.
