Company registration number for sole traders

[lloydandjames]

Trying to convert to a business account but it is asking for a company registration number and I don't have one as I am a sole trader not a Ltd company. Am I still entitled to a business acccount?

Hi @lloyandjames, 

Welcome to the Paypal Community Forum!

I would advise updating your business type to 'Individual' in order to match your needs. 

Here are steps on how to do this: How do I update my business information/SMI form? (paypal.com)

There is also a helpful video in that link that can guide you on updating this.

I hope that helps! Have a nice day! 

Rebecca.
