Business account - bad credit :(

Hi folks.

Great to be amongst like minded folks and what a site for support!

My question is, if anyone can help?!

I would like to open a business account but still have bad credit rating through CC debt. Those debts were settled in Feb 07. I went to my bank this morning again to see if they could try again to open a business account but again the 'computer said no'.........:mad::mad:

Can anyone advise me of what banks I should talk to in opening an account as clearly HSBC do not want to know. I have several thousand pound to deposit and I would use the account as a cash account.

Any advice very much appreciated as I am rather frustrated by this :(

Many thanks.

Not Bad.

    What kind of business is it? Is it a partnership, sole trader or limited company?

    Apologies for that - it will be a sole trader but until I get an account open with any suppliers :mad:

    Many thanks for your help.
