mortgage advice needed

Hi, at the moment we own a house valued at £180k, we have £60k remaining on the mortgage.

The mortgage is an interest only mortgage, and I will soon have about £20-40k coming in from my business, which If I want to it could go towards paying of a chunk of the house.

Now my business will be going though a major change next year (well the new tax year) and while I would love to pay that £20-40k off on the mortgage I also want to keep it around incase the new business direction does not work as well as hoped.

Is there some way I can utilise that 20-40k to offset my payments on my mortgage and if needed and still get access to that money if I need too?

im a little clueless about mortgages, so sorry if this is a really stupid question

cheers
