    And they give you prepaid envelops !

    Have to manage your account by post.

    Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    My Plan B Co. could really do with £50K. If you want to lend it to me I promise* to pay you back at more than didly-squat interest.



    *Value of my promise may go down as well as up.

    What if you overpaid then (gave them all the £54K) and then got the interest on that and then claimed back the difference later as an overpayment?

    WHS.

    Even if you found a business bank account that paid 1.0% interest (and I don't think there is one unless you have over £1M to deposit), the annual interest on that amount after tax will be less than one day's pay.

    Just be grateful your business bank isn't charging you to run your account.

    Minimal risk -
    Stick it on 3 month deposit.

    Maximum risk -
    Stick it all on black (or your preferred ETF).
