To use a promo code for your business account, you'll first need to create and verify a personal account. Once that's verified, you can start registering your business account. While your business account is being verified, enter your code under Promotions: - Go to your personal profile - Select Settings - Select Promotions and enter your code If you're eligible, you'll see the conditions for claiming the bonus. Promo codes are only valid for business accounts registered within the last 15 days. If you signed up your personal account earlier and already used a code, you can still redeem a code for your business account — as long as you've claimed one promotional code or fewer in total. ### Who can claim the reward? To claim the reward, you must: 1. Be eligible to sign up with Lightyear 2. Provide any supporting documentation you might need to complete account verification 3. Deposit at least £1000 into your business account The reward will be credited to your business account. Remember we're a regulated investment firm, and as such may be required to ask additional questions to be able to offer you our services. ### What value of share will I get? Your value of a share will be randomly generated based on the following probabilities: - £30 - £50: 80% - £51 - £75: 15% - £76 - £150: 3% - £151 - £300: 2% Due to the randomized nature of generation, the actual distributed awards may differ from the weightings above. ### I can't claim a share. Why? If you can't claim a share and the page says "Waiting for your Business", it means you don't yet have an LEI number, which is required to claim a share. We're resolving this soon so businesses without an LEI can still claim a Money Market Fund, which doesn't require one. ### Can I withdraw my deposit once I get the reward? If you partially or fully withdraw your initial net deposit within 6 months of claiming the reward, the reward will be removed - see our [Terms and Conditions.](https://lightyear.com/signup-promotion-terms) ### What do I need to know before I invest? **Do you have cash reserves?:** It’s generally good practice to have easily accessible cash available to cover your ongoing short term expenses, as well as an emergency fund for any unforeseen sudden expenses (e.g. needing to replace your washing machine), before investing extra money you might have. It may also be sensible to pay off debts with available money, rather than investing it. **Can you accept losses?:** All investing contains an element of risk; your investment value can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested, or in some cases, you may lose your entire investment. Generally the more risk you take gives you the opportunity for higher returns, but also increases the potential for greater losses. You should also think about how long you plan to invest for, and therefore whether you have the time to wait for any losses to recover. Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.
