Registered a new ltd company, and needed a startup account. Went to NatWest as I'd never had problems with them for personal banking.The application process demanded business bank accounts, tax returns, utility bills, leases for trading premises, insurance policies, just a slew of documents that only active trading companies would have.Those who know UK law can see the issue here.NatWest have no interest in offering startup or small business services, but insist on advertising it just to draw eyeballs to their website.Wasted eight days waiting this process out, as though my deadlines weren't tight enough as it is.Have now applied with Lloyds instead. Much better application process, only hiccup being waiting four days to get a response (but that's my fault for applying on a Thursday night!).
