Basic Business Accounts

Hi can anyone help? A few years ago I got into financial difficulty due to redundancy which resulted in me receiving defualts. I entered into a debt management plan and have been paying off my existing debts for the past 3 years without fail. My credit rating for the last 3 years is excellant however as the defaults last for 6 years my credit rating is still extremley poor.

I am trying to open my own consultatcy business however due to my poor credit rating I can't open a current account. Does anyone know if there is a basic bank account I can open for business or ltd companies? I am not interested in any credit facilities and the risk is zero as the business will only have incoming revenue. I only need to be able pay money in electronically and have internet banking if possible.

I would be grateful for any advice
