£54k in company bank account earning didley squat interest. £9k corporation tax due in June. In contract until end of March. What steps do you recommend to get maximum interest on the warchest? I don't think I'll need immediate access but I've got to get it out of the existing account.

Oh, and convert a third of it to EUR. You never know when the pound will collapse in a tulipty heap."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

rates are so poor, it's hardly worth the effort. Just concentrate on billing every day you can. any day dropped through sick/hols easily wipes out any gains on interest.Comment

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.Comment
