Business bank account

Hi all,

I need to open a basic business bank account but appear to have trouble finding one.

I have a bad credit rating, due to numerous CCJs and missed payments etc, I will only get turned down for a standard business account.

It only has to able me to bank cash, cheques. have a cheque book and internet banking. I do not need a lending facility. There seem to be plenty of personal bank accounts out there which do not require a credit check, but none for any business accounts! Can't see me being the first case on this! anybody know of any basic business bank accounts for bad credit history?

Thanks

Ando

    You may have more luck if you are referred for a business account by your accountant. Cater Allen accept referrals, in fact if you are referred then you get the account fee-free, but I do not know if that affects the ease of acceptance if you have a poor credit score.
