I'm with Lloyds, and when I went Self-employed, I sat down with a chap and explained that I wanted another current account to keep my work bits seperate from personal stuff. I wasn't stroppy, but I kind of told him what I expected from him and he agreed. I think if you are honest about how much you are likely to earn, and how you'll be paid - they are quite good. What they don't want is to give businesses a personal account if they are going to be in the branch several times a week, as this is what costs them money. Nearly all my customers pay online, with the occaisional cheque which goes in the depositpoint, and a small handfull of expenses every month by debit card.
