    Hi, As contracts are difficult to get hold at the moment - does anyone know whether its possible to 'suspend' one's company - I believe you then don't need to pay accountancy fees and at the end of the financial year one informs HMRC that the company has not been trading - you don't need to...

    Business reserve account interest

    Standard Life Business Bonds (4.25% gross) look to be about the best on offer. I don't think one can register for a bond at a building society in the name of a company
