I'm definitely not an expert, but I've worked with a handful of UK clients over the last decade. When I got TransferWise (now Wise), getting paid by international clients was way simpler (and cheaper), so that might be something to keep in mind if you're doing business with non-UK residents.
Revolut has made it really easy for me to transfer money into a UK-based bank account so I can access it when I travel. Definitely look it up to make sure it meets your criteria, though.
This might make it unsuitable:
"Unlike traditional banks, Revolut's deposit protection is limited. Although savings in a Revolut account are protected up to a specific amount, they are not covered by government-backed deposit insurance programmes. This may be of concern to those looking for increased deposit security."
