Start a business??

For those setting up a website on a budget try this company: http://bit.ly/9cEAJ They are absolutely free but you can pay for more features at a later date. There is no advertising etc so doesn't mess up your pages. Give it a try, been using it for 3 months now with great results. Mr Gollum

Hello, We opted to go with Abbey because they are offering a really good deal at the moment - Free day to day banking forever! Here is the link: http://abbey.com/csgs/Satellite?canal=CABBEYCOM&cid=1210608670143&cidAgr... I recently launched a new business which is web based, www.accountantsquoteme.co.uk, basically a comparison website for small and medium sized businesses wanting accountancy quotes. It allows accountancy practices to set up their stall and offer instant quotes through their site too. We actually set up a limited company account - but it took about 10 weeks to open! This is the average time apparently! Be warned. Hope this is of use to small businesses and accountants! Best regards Tom.

In my opinion, Natwest offer the best service. Here's a tip regarding overdrafts - dont apply for one when you open the account, wait 6 months and put through lots of business transactions in that time. This gets your bank account score up to a respectable level (its always at the bottom when you open the account, even if you have a personal account) and they approve a £5k overdraft without problems.
