Warchest

[contractor79]

Check out standard life. The bonus account was paying 3.7% until next week.

Still reasonable deals to be had.

yeah I'm applying for that one, paperwork is a pain though

From my perspective my Warchest is money that I've already paid all taxes and liabilities on so I know exactly how much I have available.

Obviously people treat theirs their own way and rightly so.

Hi. my ltd like many will be operating with masses of cash waiting to pay VAT man, Corp tax, and just for a rainy day. So do any of you have a decent biz account which pays interest?

I've been with Alliance and Leicester since we incorporated, they paid 3.5% AER (i think it was 1% below base rate or some such). Now the base rate is pants, they had to put a special rate of 0.1% in place to stop their systems crashing...

So who's got a decent UK based biz bank account which pays interest? and online instance access..? or even 30/90day access would be fine.
Cheers, rich

to survive and maintain your current lifestyle

or in the current economic climate, living on a diet of spaghetti hoops on toast.

[chef]

either, it's the money/assets that you have in whatever form that come the time when there is no work available you dip into this "warchest" to survive and maintain your current lifestyle

[BrilloPad]

For me it is both. It is any money I can get my hands on.

When you all speak about your warchest's, is this money you have left in the company to take at later dates, or money you have taken out in a a way to minimise your tax exposure and kept in personal bank accounts?
