How to open a business account?

Hi all,

I'm desperately trying to open a business account!!

I have no ccj's, but a couple of late payments, and I had a Natwest account shut a while ago after we "disagreed" on charges.

I have 10k cash to deposit in whoever will let me open a business account, but no-one wants it!

I tried Abbey, and 3 weeks and several phone calls later they say that they have referred my application to thier review department.

What do I have to do to get someone to take my money and open a bloody account????????? The frustration is driving me mad.

Is there anyone that I can call, or approach who can help me set up a business account?

Any advice gratefully recieved cos my mattress is getting well uncomfortable.

Cheers,

Frags.

    Who is your personal account with? Where is the £10k now?
  • Don't open a business account with Abbey. We have had nothing but trouble over last 2 years and given up and opening ac with A&L. I know they have problems but cannot be worse surely?

    I had a previous problem with natwest also and have a terrible credit rating - I managed to open a business account with natwest!!

    No overdraft or credit - just the account - well worth a try - the staff were lovely.
    Not really comping any more as too ill - but hoping to win £1000+ in 2017 in cash prizes - watch this space!
