Weekly roundups and commentary — three UK small-business stories, our take, no filler.
This week in UK small business software — 12 October 2026

Business bankingWhy "free" business banking isn't — the five meters nobody mentions

Straight answers about this site
What is ReQompass?
An independent decision platform for UK businesses choosing software. We research consequential categories — accounting, banking, field service, hosting and more — and publish scored reviews, head-to-head comparisons, buying guides and free cost tools, all showing the working behind every claim.
How does ReQompass stay independent?
Rankings are never for sale, vendors cannot see reviews before publication, and every review must state honest weaknesses — a review without a weakness is an advert, and we do not publish adverts. Our full rules are public on the methodology and about pages.
How accurate are the prices and scores?
Indicative, dated, and auditable. Every review shows when a human last verified its figures against vendor-published sources, with a link to check yourself, and our automated audit flags any record older than 90 days. Scores are editorial judgments with published meanings, not measurements.
A clearer route to better decisions.
Whether you are choosing for yourself, your team or your organisation, ReQompass helps you understand the options before you commit.
