    The same as protecting personal cash at UK bank over £85K: move the excess to a different bank.

  • If you are a sole trader make sure your business account is with a different organisation to your personal accounts, otherwise you will be limited to just one claim.

    If you have got £billions like a pension fund manager the only way I know is to buy UK bonds.
    The Government will never run out of £ because they have got their own printer.
    And if the £ aren't worth much, that won't matter to you as your liabilities are in £, whatever they are worth.
    Hence those with £billions had to buy bonds when the yield was less than retail savings accounts.  Its the only case I know where the small saver gets a better deal than the big saver.
