Does someone on the board have a guilty looking
face, or something?
Why would they suspect a company with next-to-no turnover of money
laundering?
Have you ever tried to get a bank account as someone not born in the
UK? I have. Took me six months, and I only got it because I got a job
with a company used to getting bank accounts opened for its employees
... which meant I could finally deposit the cheque from work I'd done
in the meantime.
It's not much easier for companies.
Our new treasurer, Paul, is slowly and painfully working through the
bureaucracy. I'm sure his forehead will feel much better when he gets
to stop banging his head against it ...
