It is irrelevant whether you are a corporate multinational or a business starting its first year of trading; fundamentally business bank accounts are an essential element in the process of owning a company. Opening business bank accounts is however relatively straightforward, ultimately the choice needs to consider the requirements of the business and how it will cater for its day to day operations.
The first step in the process is to compare all of the business bank accounts on the high street. During this comparison process it is important to ask the following questions of any bank. Firstly, whether the bank will provide business advice in the form of a small business team and whether these services would carry an additional charge. How the transaction fees are calculated, typically it will be either a monthly or pro rata fee. Finally it is always worth asking whether there are any hidden charges, such as correspondence fees.
Choosing between business bank accounts is ultimately related to how you will be running the company. For example, a company that carries out many transactions throughout the month is likely to benefit from utilising an account with a fixed monthly transaction charge. It is also worth remembering that many companies need to have a variety of different accounts, what follows is a list of some of the more common account types required by businesses.
Naturally your company will require a current account. This form of account is used for all of the day to day running costs experienced by businesses. In some cases it may be possible to find a bank that will provide interest on the balance although this is not always the case; if your bank cannot give interest on a current account balance, a savings account will need to be opened instead.
Loan accounts are frequently given by banks to start up businesses. Many companies will require one in the early years of trading helping them to maintain cash flow during difficult times. Care however should be taken; there are numerous varieties of loan account on the market, ranging from mortgage like loans to unsecured personal loans and lines of credit.
Foreign currency loans are also important for companies that have dealings overseas. International trading can be difficult to manage making a specialist account dedicated to the purpose extremely beneficial. Ultimately it should help in restricting the conversion charges applied to foreign transactions.
Hopefully this article has given information on how to select business bank accounts and highlighted some of the more common varieties available to companies. With the right approach it is possible to find the ideal option, catering for the needs of the company and setting a solid financial platform for growth. |
