Part of the Best Business Bank Account reference, which uses Tolvern Business Account (a fictional example) to illustrate business bank accounts criteria.

Questions to ask

Can you deposit at a branch, an ATM or a retail partner? Is there a monthly allowance? What is charged above it? Is there a limit per deposit?

Multiply your typical monthly cash by the rate above the allowance, then add it to your cost model. Some accounts do not accept cash at all, so check this first.
