Business Banking Recommendation

[RichUK]

I'm in the process of setting up a new Ltd company. For my existing company I bank with NatWest, who are okay, but I thought I ask to see if anyone had any good recommendations for someone to talk to.

Expected t/o in the new company in year 1 is approx £100k and it won't be needing any business borrowing, with the exception of maybe a company credit card.

Thanks in advance.

You could click on the "Business" link on the breadcrumb menu at the top of this page and look at the results of the "Business Banking Survey" sticky thread on the page it takes you to.

Sorry - I'm trying not to be a member of the Repost Police but FFS!

To be fair, it's not obvious at first glance that you can view the results on the voting form. On my screen at least, I need to scroll right to the bottom of the voting box to see that there is a 'Results' button.

Thanks for your help there.

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations, for a small company, which is going to require very little borrowing - the thing that most banks (and from my experience, very much NatWest) seem solely focussed on. I didn't see much of that in the Banking Survey sticky.

I'm looking into exactly the same situation too - even down to expected turnover of about £100k. So would also appreciate any specific recommendations.

Just tried Alliance & leicester if you need no borrowing and little if any support they seem okay free banking for two years etc. In the end I have against my better judgement gone back to Natwest as the company my managment company gets the bulk of its fees from banks with NatWest so transfers for them will be quicker unbelievably if you are doing internet transfers the banks are still taking upto 5 days to do the transfer which is absolute scandal but.....its Friday so I won't get all annoyed about it. I will instead go for a Starbucks.
