    Money left in business

    Does anyone have any recommendations for getting the best from money left in the company. My Acc is recommending a Trasact account but not sure if that's just cos he'll get commission a plenty. What do others do?

    Thx

    Boring Deposit Account

    Very boring, but relatively secure and beats inflation. Northern Rock have a good rate (4.75% AER on their Business Reserve A/C) at the moment. Min deposit is 10K. Has to be operated by post.

    They say "The interest rate on Business Reserve is guaranteed to be no lower than 0.25% below the Bank of England Base Rate until 1 January 2010". I think this is a fairly good guarantee.

    I opened one recently and the application process was smooth and easy.

      If you have >£50K then most banks will entertain you speaking with their "Money Market" team about term deposits

      To be honest, I dont think they will be able to beat the deal that Hex mentioned from Northern Rock.

        Depending on the sums involved and the sort of access you need abbey have some reasonable rates.
