Available at all times
Once an overdraft granted, the funds can be drawn immediately, with no further supporting documentation needed.
Tailor-made
You only use the amount of credit you need, thereby limiting your costs.
100% tax-deductible
Interest is calculated on the amount of credit actually used, and is fully tax-deductible as a business expense.
Making your life easier
Your overdraft is directly linked to one of your business current accounts. It allows you to have a debit balance on that account. Interest is calculated on the basis of that debit balance, and is accounted for quarterly.
Cost control
Interest is only charged on the amount of credit you actually use. So you can always work out what your overdraft will cost, allowing you to manage your budget most effectively.
