I should try the same bank that gives you those millions for construction jobs. I'm sure they would like some back.

I use Abbey but they've gone downhill lately.

I was recommended St.Helens Barclays for my detailing business by the (then) St.Helens Chamber rep, and quickly found out that Rob is a waste of space, definitely try Natwest, I've never heard a bad word against the St.Helens branch, but plenty against Barclays.
I don't like that new Chamber building by the way, too impersonal, I liked the Pocket Nook place much better.

Tony.
I opened a Co-op business account (the FSB one).  Is it really ANY post office?  I thought they restricted itr to four nominated ones.  It would be pretty helpful if they have relaxed it.

Your lucky, closest I can get to a business account is on par with a 12yr olds where you have to actually pay the money in, you get a cash card and can't transfer money in or out.

After telling them it was useless, the woman said keep using your personal account, they won't shut it down.

when i first started my plumbing business years ago i got a loan throught the princes trust and ended up getting a business account with the tsb,  i could only pay cash/cheques in and they would not give me a bank card to pay things with, so i either had to pay by cheque ( where i would have to travel from widnes to chester 20 miles) to get a counter signature on  or with draw it cash and pay it that way, in the end i stopped paying stuff in it and use to just keep cash at home, some banks are just a waste of time,
