What Freelancers and Sole Traders in Bulgaria need from a business account

Freelancers value low cost, simple invoicing, a good app, and easy ways to get paid by clients at home and abroad. They rarely handle cash. Bulgaria is in the euro area and SEPA, so the main differences between providers are monthly cost, foreign exchange handling for non euro clients, and how easily you can separate business and personal money.
