SB Business Credit Cards

Having used Company Barclaycard for 12 years without paying annual card fees, I have just received a statement with a £56 charge for 2 card fees.
I know Barclays profits are struggling (only 4.9 billion this year) and I would truly like them to have my card fees but I would like to look for an alternative.

Anybody have recommendations for fee free business credit cards?

    Not free, but Coop charge £2 pm per card, which is a leetle bit better. You would have to bank with them though, AFAIK.

    If you do find anything better, please let us all know!

    Natwest charge too, I think it's about £20 per card. I don't know why either when personal ones are usually free. Plus the merchant accounts sting busineses too buy charging higher transaction fees for business/commercial cards.

    Do they? I didn't know that! It will make me wary of using the business card in small places. And again, why would they need to do that? It's the same process: get money from one place to another, isn't it?

    The process is exactly the same. I know for a fact that NATWEST merchant services known as Streamline charge more, can't comment on other merchants service companies though. There was even a point when they charged more for Mastercard than Visa (or vice versa)!
