Short answer: a UK sole trader is generally not legally required to have a separate business bank account, because the individual and the business are not separate legal persons. However, a dedicated account can make bookkeeping, cash-flow tracking and tax records much easier. It can also become practically necessary if a personal-account provider does not permit business use or if the business needs features such as multi-user access, payment acceptance, accounting integrations or higher transaction limits.
