Banking advice

Hello everyone,

I've got a one-man-band small business and have a Business Account with
the Bank of Scotland. From January this year they have begun to charge me
£15 a month for what they call Account Maintenance. I am rather angry
at this since the account is not overdrawn and all my transactions are
done via the internet.

Would appreciate some advice about the best deal on business accounts
for a small company like mine.

Much obliged in advance.

Joaquin
Regards

Joakim

    Hi the business centre I went to ,to do my business course reccommended natwest or barclays for business accounts.
    you could try your local cab and ask them to reccommend you a bank that dont charge.

    Most major banks offer up to 18 months free business banking. Most banks will take all your business debit debits/standing orders onto your new account.
  • Computerwoman - I am intrigued to know how CAB would know which banks charge for business accounts and those who do not.
