Choosing the right Flutterwave account

Updated 7 month ago

Flutterwave offers different account types to cater to the specific needs of your business.

Business Account

  • Unregistered Business Account: This is suitable for businesses that have not yet obtained a company registration number or have not started business registration. With this account, you can receive payments and access our services while awaiting formal registration.

  • Registered Business Account: If your business has a registration number or you have applied for one, you can choose from two account types:

    • Sole Proprietorship: This is suitable for individual businesses, freelancers, and small-scale operations where you are the sole owner of the business.

    • Limited Liability Company (LLC): This option is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), including larger enterprises. It provides additional legal protection and flexibility.

Other Entity Account

If your organisation falls under a different category, such as an NGO, Trusts, or an Association, you can select the Other Entity Account during your registration.

Selecting the appropriate account type when registering on Flutterwave will enable us to guide you through the necessary steps based on the nature of your business.
