In the UK, Ing Direct (http://www.ingdirect.co.uk) offer interest
rates of 4.3% AER to personal savers.

Where can I get a similarly high rate of interest from a UK business
(savings) bank account?

Hello Dan,
A preliminary search indicates finding an equivalent rate for a
business account might be difficult.
 
I consulted two sites. 

The Royal Bank of Scotland's site:
http://www.rbs.co.uk/Small_Business/Deposit_Accounts/Corporate_Money_Market_Account/rates.htm

And this site which allows limited "comparison shopping."
http://www.reviewcentre.com/products294.html

You will note that the RBS rate of well below 4 percent requires that
a large minimum payment be maintained.

It's bizarre but (in the UK) Interest on Business Accounts is
typically lower than for Personal Accounts, even though the amounts
may be larger.

It simply does not make sense (to me).
