Stick your head into your bank G, When I was locksmithing, HSBC set everything up for me pretty much.
Gave me a credit card with a decent rate for my initial start up costs and didnt charge any banking fees for the first 2 years.
The banks get massive incentives from the government to help out and help start new businesses, go get it done

PS, did the bear win you any brownie points btw?

Natwest are good for starting off. I had 2 years free overdraft and free interest credit cards which is handy starting off (not sure if they still do that)

Main thing when you doo start off is advertise EVERYWHERE you can but my advice would be stay away from the big advertising companies, yell etc.

As for accounts i do my own its easy enough or you can get good accountants for peanuts just ask around first.

Best thing you can do in my opinion you'll never look back but be prepared for a slow start!

Good luck matey!

Natwest is good for the first 2 years with no charges,then after that you get raped for putting money in and taking it out and leaving it in

Santander is better.
