Aldermore
If you have large amounts of cash sitting in a business account, in most instances it will not be earning you a penny in interest (or very little). But just like individuals, businesses can get savings accounts too, and the Aldermore one is about as flexible as you can get. Choose the time frame you’d like to keep the money in the account for and you’ll receive a specific interest rate. Or just choose an instant access of fixed rate account instead. View Site »
