Best UK bank for business account?

From your own experience which UK bank offers the best business account in terms of service and cost?

I dunno if this offer is still valid, but Natwest are doing 2 years' free business banking right now. And I heard bad things about Barclays!

Lloyds or NatWest are the ones I stick with but its all down to personal choice at the end of it.

I would suggest you go and see the business manager at each branch and go with the one you feel most comfortable with as you will probably be spending a fair bit of time with them if you are a new start up.

I would advise you to shop around. The relationship with the banks business manager needs to work well. Overall I would rate HSBC. But please do make appointments at various banks before going for one.
