4. Introduced me to Flemings (now Cater Allen) for the bank account.

I was planning on using HSBC. Had a look at Cater Allen, but their T&C's require you to be an operating LTD company for at least 6 months & have a minimum of £5K balance. Not sure if an accountantcan get round this??

That was the deal through Nixon Williams...

Does rather raise the question of how you trade for 6 months without a business bank account...

Not too sure what you mean by free? But it has Bacs and Chaps and all those things and Internet banking....

It means they don't charge you for transactions! Or a monthly fee!

CA doesn't have internet banking but does have v good interest rates . And free banking up to a number of transactions per month.
