Nah never saw that one, went direct to Barclays myself.

Looked at Cater Allen and Abbey business. Abbey looks most suitable for me. Will probably open two acccounts....the low interest everyday business one and the better rate Business Reserve one for my tax payments.
Thanks

Barclays are very good. Set mine up a year or so ago, and then even moved my personal account to them. I've got business current and savings accounts, interest is not bad considering that business accounts generally pay f all.

It's very easy to transfer funds between all accounts (for example, paying your salary, or dividends, expenses etc) and you can manage your account online.

Business bank account recommendations

I'm just in the process of setting up a limited company and will need a business account. Can anyone recommend a good bank. I will not need to use it much so would like it to
1) be free
2) Have a cheque book
3) Maybe a debit card
4) Have a good interest rate as I may be leaving big chunks of money in there for the taxman.

Any recommnedations gratefuly recieved.
