    Use the singular ‘conto’ when you refer to opening one account; the plural would mean ‘business accounts’.

  • Voglio aprire una conto aziendale.

    ‘Conto’ is masculine, so the correct article is ‘un’, not ‘una’.

  • Voglio aprire il conto aziendale.

    Use the indefinite article unless you are talking about a specific, already known account.

↔Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In Italy, opening a conto aziendale usually requires the company’s registration (visura camerale), tax code (codice fiscale) and a personal ID. While ‘voglio’ is perfectly correct, it can sound a bit direct in formal banking settings; many Italians prefer the more courteous ‘desidero’ or ‘vorrei’. Also note that ‘conto corrente aziendale’ is the most common term for a day‑to‑day business account.
