If you want to earn interest on an amount of money greater than the limit on your savings account, a fixed rate bond is usually your best option. Fixed rate bonds provide a guaranteed return on the amount you deposit and can allow you to claim interest up to a much higher limit than most savings accounts. Fixed rate bond terms typically vary from 3 months to 5 years. Most fixed rate bond deals are for 1 ,2, 3 and 5 year terms. Generally speaking the longer your money is locked away the higher the rate of interest you will receive on your money. Minimum bond deposits can vary from £500 to over £10,000.
30 Day Notice Business Savings Account:
If you have a surplus that you do not need for daily business purposes, you may want to place it into a 30 day notice account. This will normally earn you a better rate of interest than an instant access account, but means you will have to let the bank know 30 days in advance when you wish to withdraw funds.
Clients’ Business Savings Account:
If you are a professional company entitled to hold clients’ funds, you could earn interest on these funds by placing them in a savings account. Depending on the nature of your business and how you wish to structure your clients’ deposits, you can hold them collectively in a single account or have separate designated accounts for each client.
