Top Tips and Advice - (with regards to opening the bank account)
Young Enterprise don't need to open accounts in branch, they are processed centrally. The group will receive a pack from YE & they just follow instructions in pack.
As I mentioned on the phone I don't get involved with school account opening so I don't know how the process works. I have therefore checked our procedures manual, which states that the application form is included within the business kit. If the form has been mislaid a copy should be obtained from YE (the HO details are given rather than a website).
The only identification and verification of address required is a YE Certificate of Incorporation. The original should be taken with the application form to the branch so they can copy and send off with the application. There is also a bank mandate which need to be completed. I have printed and scanned here - you can ask your schools to print and complete, and take in with the account opening form.
The form is then sent to our processing centre to be opened. So as I understand, even if they went to the branch they application would still be sent off. Therefore it's probably a quicker process than waiting for an appointment. Your schools may wish to take a copy of this e-mail so the procedures are outlined. If they do this I would stress that any queries should be referred to a business specialist, and under no circumstances should account opening paperwork be sent to me at the commercial centre.
Company programme training
Young Enterprise provide 'off the job training' for each aspect of the programme you have joined. The Finance, Budgeting and Business Planning Seminar next Thursday 14th November from 4.00 – 5.15pm at Cherwell School. Refreshments will be provided.
