BusinessAnywhere

I'd like to say I was impressed by how quickly my enquiry was handled, as I was not expecting a reply the same day. The advisor talked me through each step without rushing me. Everything was arranged to my satisfaction and I'm grateful.

Booked a meeting room through the app last week and the confirmation came through straight away. The room itself was fine but the app kept logging me out halfway through the booking. Got there in the end.

Ordered the card machine on a Tuesday and it turned up on Thursday, which I wasn't expecting for a business account. Setting it up was simple enough, the instructions were clear and I took my first payment that afternoon from a regular at the cafe. Only thing I'd change is the sign-up form, it asked for the same details twice and timed out once.

Looked at four or five similar services before settling on this one, mainly because the fees were clearer here than elsewhere. Signing up took under half an hour. Happy with the choice so far.

We compared three payment providers before picking them, and the card terminal they sent us was the deciding factor since it came with a proper contract and no monthly lease fee hidden in the small print. Setup took about twenty minutes on the phone with someone who actually knew what they were talking about. Takings have been landing in our account the next working day ever since, which is exactly what we needed for the shop.

We needed someone to sort our year end accounts fast because our old accountant retired with no warning. Found this service and signed up the same day. The first reply to my question took two days though, which was a bit slow when I was panicking about the deadline. Once they got going the work was done neatly.

Honestly this is one of the easier things I've signed up for. Quick application on my phone, got approved within a day and the money landed the next morning. Repayments come out on the date they should.

Compared to the bank we used for years, this is far quicker and the online dashboard shows everything in one place without having to ring anyone. We've been customers for about six years now and the rates have stayed sensible throughout. The only thing I'd flag is that the renewal reminders could come a bit earlier, as I nearly missed one last spring and had to sort it out in a rush. Still, I'd stick with them.

Our invoices were sitting unpaid for ages and cash flow was killing us, so I went looking for an invoice finance option. The application asked for more paperwork than I expected, bank statements going back six months and a few copies of contracts. Once approved the money came through fine, though the fees are a bit steeper than I'd like.
