We present first lattice QCD results for semileptonic form factors for the decays Bc→ηclν and Bc→J/ψlν over the full q2 range, using both improved non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and fully relativistic (HISQ) formalisms. These can be viewed as prototype calculations for pseudoscalar to pseudoscalar and pseudoscalar to vector decays involving a b→c transition. In particular we can use information from the relativistic computations to fix the NRQCD current normalisations, which can then be used in improved computations of decays such as B→Dlν and B→D∗lν.
