Business Banking??

Hello all,,

Does anyone know if there is a business bank account available out there like the equivalent of think banking?? i.e. one that doesn't run credit checks and won't mind that I am a discharged br...

I'm not put off by monthly fees - just want to get my small business up and running.. I've checked with think and am not able to use that as my "sole trading" a/c..

any replies, much appreciated.

    thanks for your reply, will try Barclays - they were never one of my creditors so am living in hope...
  • Try for a Natwest Foundation account.This is basic business account that does not have a overdraft facility but does come with a Cheque book and Debit Card.I understand that this account is available to people who are discharged from Bankruptcy.I am self employed and was offered a Foundation a/c even though my BR will not be removed from my file until 17/01/2011.

    Good luck
