My company's spare cash was earning nothing. Here's what I did about it.

Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Ian Durrell runs Back Office Support Solutions, a financial services firm helping UK SMEs with accounts, payroll, and compliance. Like most small business owners, he assumed investing company cash was something only larger businesses did.

He was wrong. And now it's a revenue stream.

In this video, Ian explains exactly how he invests his company's surplus cash, including money set aside for VAT and Corporation Tax, using a Business Account with InvestEngine. He walks through his strategy: broad market ETFs across US, UK, and global indexes, plus the Overnight Rate ETF for lower-risk short-term cash. No speculation. No complexity. Just a simple, low-cost approach to making idle money work.
