  • In a word no.
    What exactly will your turnover be and how do you expect to be paid? (cash or cheques).
    You may be able to open a basic account and run it as a sole trader one if turnover is not excessive (and you do not need a chequebook).
    Be honest with wherever you try and see what happens.
