I was trying to say that retail banks can be very helpful
when an existing personal account holder wants to set up a
business account with themselves as a signatory (but not
owner).  Especially if the legal entity (new or existing)
is also within their jurisdiction.

Things like checking if the person is who his says he is,
checking if the initial deposit is from a suspect source
etc. become much simpler when the bank recognizes the
person as someone they have worked with for years and the
initial money source as an account that was the
correspondent with past checks or other traceable
transfers to/from that known person (all according to the
banks own records).

Throw in the prospect of earning transaction fees on an
associated Merchant account, and motivation can grow
further.

Enjoy
