I need to set up a business checking account now for my new photography business and would like to get some help on which bank offers best "everything" for small business?

I don't have my own business, but personally haven't used a "bank" since the mid-90's. I'd check out some local Credit Unions and see what they have to offer. Personally, I would never go back to a bank from a Credit Union. That's from my experience for personal use, but I assume they'd be just as good for business purposes.

I do not use business account, the banks charge much higher fees for business accounts, I have a separate personal account for my business, just make sure checks are made out to you and not your company. As long as you track all your receipts and income there should not be any issues. I have not had any problems at all...

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Thanks everyone. Karl your the 3rd person that has told me about credit unions. I'm going to look into what is around me. What is funny is nearly everyone had mentioned to me to stay away from Bank of America! :pinch: Which is where I have my personal account.

I'm all Credit Union (two of them) and I worked for two different banks for 7 years.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I use ING for all of my banking needs. I feel it is one of the easiest banks to work with. It has been my experience anyways.
