Hello, I am starting up business in the UK. I need a bank account for my limited company. I sell software through the internet, and I need the following:
- The ability to issue cheques in both Euro, Pound and US Dollars
- A VISA card
- Online banking, including the possibility of doing wiretransfers
I cannot afford a bank which require a minimum account balance (at least not if it's much more than £200).
My obvious question is, does anyone have a recommendation?
Also, What papers do I need to forward to the bank to have them open a business account? (Ltd company)
In my country we may use IBAN numbers for wiretransfers. Is this common in the UK and US? Here some banks provide that free of charge, others charge around £0.5 per transfer.
Please note that I am not a UK resident and do not live in the UK either.
I hope someone can help me out here.
Thank you.
Regards, Jürgen
