If you're a landlord with a limited company on the GetGround platform, you've probably heard of business accounts. Our business accounts are designed for property investments, providing landlords with a streamlined way to manage expenses and returns from their investments.
At GetGround, our aim is to make property investment easier, but smarter at the same time. We've been thinking about how to make your business accounts work harder for you and your returns for easy, high-value profits. Today, we're revealing our newest product.
Introducing Investment Pots: a General Investment Account (GIA) that allows you to invest in a low-risk rated* Blackrock Money Market Fund invested in UK Government debt, as with all investments, your capital is at risk. All onboarded limited companies with existing business accounts have access to this feature directly on the GetGround platform itself. With this new product, protecting your company cash from inflation is available at the click of a few buttons.
Here’s how the Investment Pot works:
- Any company director can set up a Pot via the GetGround platform. Pots are free to create and all withdrawals and deposits incur no transaction fees. We charge a simple 1.5% annualised fee on the Pot balance. Learn more about Pot fees here.
- Deposit funds directly into the Investment Pot from your business account via the GetGround platform. You could do this manually, or with automated regular monthly deposits. You’ll be able to see your Pot balance and account activity easily from your dashboard. Withdrawals from your Investment Pot can be made at any time and will be placed back into your business account within a maximum of 4 working days.
- All deposits are invested into the BlackRock ICS Sterling Government Liquidity Fund (Class Premier Accumulating GBP), which is an accumulating money market fund. This means income earned is continually reinvested into the fund, to maximise returns. Learn more about the fund here.
- Sit back and watch your cash work harder every day, so you don’t have to.
If you’re ready to increase your property investment returns with no effort, get started today with your Investment Pot on your GetGround dashboard. Don't have a GetGround business account?
