Business CDs are insured by the FDIC, so they are considered one of the safest forms of investment. They typically offer a fixed interest rate that can be collected upon when the CD reaches its maturity date. Terms usually range from one month to five years. Businesses will most likely incur a fee if they decide to withdraw on the CD early.
