That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s worth looking at a business savings platform to help earn more from cash reserves.<\/p><h3>What is a business savings platform?<\/h3><p>A business savings platform connects your company with tens or hundreds of high-interest savings accounts in one place, allowing you to spread your cash between banks while managing it all with a single login and dashboard. <\/p><p>A well-known and well-renowned example of a business savings platform is Flagstone, but there are also smaller platforms such as Akoni and Bondsmith. <\/p><h3>How does a business savings platform work?<\/h3><p>Rather than applying over and over again at separate banks, you complete one onboarding and verification process with the platform. This takes away a good chunk of admin burden! <\/p><p>Your business cash is placed into a holding account, and you can then access a dashboard to choose where to allocate your funds. There&#8217;s typically a wide range of providers and products, including both instant access and fixed term or notice accounts.<\/p><h3> What to look for when choosing a platform<\/h3><h4>Platform fees<\/h4><p>It&#8217;s always worth checking what you will be charged when signing up to a business cash platform.  <\/p><p>Some business savings platforms, such as Flagstone, don&#8217;t charge fees. Instead, the company receives a small share of the interest you earn on your savings. That&#8217;s usually deducted before the interest rate is shown to you, so you still get the advertised rate. <\/p><p>Other platforms, such as Akoni and Insignis, do charge fees instead of (or as well as) taking a share of the interest you earn. These may include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Platform fees<\/strong>. Annual percentage charge on the funds held on the platform<\/li><li><strong>Deposit fees<\/strong>. Percentage-based fee per deposit<\/li><\/ul><p>If you&#8217;re unsure, make sure to read details about fees on the platform&#8217;s website before signing up &#8211; or ask their customer service. <\/p><h4>Panel size, quality and diversity<\/h4><p>It&#8217;s important to look for a business savings platform that not only has a good-sized panel of banks and building societies, but also one that&#8217;s diverse and focused on quality. You should make sure the panel is made up of FCA-regulated and UK-based banks with FSCS protection. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flagstoneim.com\/business\/learn\/business-insights\/how-businesses-use-laddering-to-earn-more\" target=\"_blank\">Research by Flagstone revealed that the average mid-sized SME holds \u00a3620,000 in cash reserves<\/a>. Spreading your business&#8217;s cash across savings accounts with different banking groups can help keep more of your eligible deposits within FSCS protection limits. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fscs.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">FSCS<\/a> protects eligible deposits up to \u00a3120,000 per individual, per banking group. <\/p><h4>Minimum deposits<\/h4><p>The majority of business savings platforms have a minimum deposit requirement, so it&#8217;s worth checking this before you sign up. You might find it&#8217;s around the \u00a3100,000 mark, which means most businesses are still able to use the platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/business-banking\/business-savings-statistics-how-much-should-a-business-have-in-savings\">as research<\/a> shows the average small SME holds around \u00a3225,000 in cash savings. <\/p><p>If you have less than \u00a3100,000 that you want to deposit in business savings, you might consider going direct to a bank in this case, as you will be FSCS protected up to \u00a3120,000 per bank or building society.  <\/p><h4>Multi-currency deposits<\/h4><p>A lot of businesses are globally connected and may need to manage money in multiple currencies. A good business cash platform will allow you to secure your different currencies all in one place &#8211; and still earn competitive interest on your cash balances. For example, Flagstone offers USD and EUR accounts.  <\/p><h4>Ease of use<\/h4><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/business-savings-accounts\/best-business-savings-platforms\">best business savings platform<\/a> is one that reduces administrative burden. A single password to gain access to your entire savings portfolio, and the ability to switch to better rates in just a few clicks, help you earn competitive returns on your business cash, rather than letting it sit idle. <\/p><h4>How rates compare to going direct<\/h4><p>Some business cash platforms take a small portion of interest from the provider before giving it to you, so you might get slightly better rates by going direct. This is worth noting if you have a small sum of business cash that you could put in one high-interest account. <\/p><p>However, if you&#8217;re a business with a decent sum of cash, you should weigh that up against the cost of your time and energy &#8211; and whether you think you&#8217;d stay on top of your cash reserves when going direct. If you have accounts with 5 or 6 different banks, will you really take the time to track each one and keep on top of the most competitive rates?<\/p><p>You might not easily find the best deals by trawling through hundreds of banks, whereas a business savings platform makes it easy to compare rates from multiple banks in one place. Some platforms, like Flagstone, also offer exclusive rates (this is where a savings rate is designated as exclusive to customers of the business savings platform by participating banks and building societies at the time of publication). <\/p><h4>Trust and reputation<\/h4><p>It&#8217;s worth looking at portals like Trustpilot to see how users have reviewed the experience of using a particular business cash platform. A platform that partners with a large number of high-quality banks and building societies &#8211; including major names &#8211; is also a good sign. <\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><h4>How does FSCS protection work with a business savings platform?<\/h4><p>FSCS protection covers your eligible business deposits up to \u00a3120,000 per authorised bank or building society. So, you can hold more than \u00a3120,000 with a business savings platform, but you want to ensure that this is spread between different banks and building societies when looking at your portfolio in the dashboard.<\/p><h4>Do all savings platforms support business accounts?<\/h4><p>No, not all savings platforms are built for business accounts. For example, while Raisin is a marketplace for personal savings accounts, it doesn&#8217;t offer support for business savings or surplus cash.  <\/p><h4>How do business savings platforms make money?<\/h4><p>This depends on the platform. Some platforms, like Flagstone, don&#8217;t charge fees but instead receive a small share of the interest from partner banks before advertising the rate with customers. Others charge a platform fee or a fee on deposits made with the platform &#8211; typically as a percentage of the total sum held or deposited. <\/p><h4>Do I get a worse rate than going direct to the bank?<\/h4><p>Not necessarily. Although a business savings platform may take a small portion of interest earned, meaning a slightly lower headline rate, the best platforms also compare rates across hundreds of accounts &#8211; so you get access to the most competitive deals on the market that you might not see otherwise.<\/p><h4>Can a charity use a business savings platform?<\/h4><p>Yes, most business savings platforms accept applications from charities that meet the specified criteria. However, there might be different deposit requirements for charities compared to other business types, so it&#8217;s worth checking with the individual platform. <\/p><h4>How long does it take to open an account?<\/h4><p>Your business will need to be approved before your account is opened, but this shouldn&#8217;t take more than a few days in most cases. A good business cash platform will have a speedy sign-up process and quick approval times. For example, with Flagstone, over 75% of business applications are approved within 24 hours.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--alt\"><div class=\"luna-card__block has-padding-small\">We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet.
