    SJD did mine for free back along.

    FWIW, get a free account through CaterAllen first, operate for six months or so, then switch to one of the main players.

    Its much easier to follow this route than trying to open an account at any other high street branch with no existing business account. (Takes forever, need loads of paperwork in my experience).

    Not answering the OP's question, but we used to be Cater Allen introducers. However increasingly we found them finding ever more frustrating excuses to reject applications that we gave up.

    On the plus side though, when it comes to MVL Online's dealings with banks, Cater Allen are second only to Barclays in terms of swift turnaround.

    I don't expect money to come into my account for another eight weeks or so, but I'd like to open the account now.

    I understand with an introducer that would work well, as I wouldn't need the £5000 to open the reserve account, and wouldn't be charged if the account balance is below £5k for these eight weeks?

    There's another thread about CK on here that's worth a read.

    My advice would be to leave CK as soon as possible (I did) - I'd recommend a freeagent accountant
