Does anyone have a letter used to request payment for commercial w/c via the BACS system.
Our largest school contract via a local authority has recently started to pay us this way and want to get all my other commercial customers to pay this way too.
Not only does it save any waiting period, trips to the bank etc it will save us several hundred pounds a year in 'Cheques paid in' charges from the bank. >:(
I will, of course post a copy in the documents to download section when its done so we can all benefit.
Thanks,
Sarah

I have just a normal bank account in my name...on any invoices, the cheques are made payable to my name.
There are no charges at all.
I also know that you can have a normal current account with a cheque book in the name of "Joe Bloggs trading as Portholes Window Cleaning"....
obviously in your name... ;) ;D :o
