I have been turned down by the Natwest for a business bank account. I've spoken to various other banks who all say that because I have CCJs (and the credit scoring computer goes "Arroogah, arroogah, run for cover" when they put my details on) I can't get a business account with them, either.
I'm not after any kind of finance - no overdraft, all I want to do is pay in a cheque (made out to my company name) and then remove some (but not all) of the funds.
Any suggestions who to try? Is it worth trying one of these "non-status/guaranteed" companies who offer to set up an account for a fee?
Do any of them offer a business savings or business reserve account?
You normally aren't credit searched for savings accounts. Then again, you normally pay for business accounts so maybe banks don't offer such a basic account as no-one would pay for having such limited facilities.
