What are Interest Rates ?

To put it simply, interest is the price you pay to borrow money – whether that's a student loan, a mortgage or a credit card. When you borrow money, you generally must pay back the original amount you borrowed, plus a certain percentage of the loan amount as interest.

This represents the current interest rate in the United Kingdom as of January 2024

– Changes in interest rates are likely to affect the overheads of a business.– Interest rates are a part of overhead costs.– If interest rates rise, businesses are likely to have to pay higher interest payments on their borrow E.g., a business may borrow £10k in an overdraft. The annual payments would rise from £600 to £700 if the rate of interest rose from 6 to 7 percent a year.– not all borrowing is at variable rates of interest – variable rates: means the bank and other lenders are free to charge the interest rate on any money borrowed – Many loan businesses are at fixed rates of interest: meaning the bank cannot charge the rate of interest over the agreed term of the loan.– So... a rise in interest wont affect a business overheads with fixed term loans.– But... if a business wanted to take out new loans, it would have to pay the higher interest rate the bank or lender is now charging
