Research by the Bank of England (BoE) shows a fifth of firms are under-investing, because they cannot get the bank funding they need to expand.
The BoE’s new survey, that collects data on business investment and financing decisions, shows that one third of UK businesses feel their investment has been too low, with 20 per cent citing constraints on borrowing, including expectations of their loan application being rejected by banks, the demanded cost of the funds, the maturity on the repayment, and the onerous collateral demands made by lenders as key barriers to business investment.
With demand for alternative finance therefore likely to increase further as we move into 2017, what is essential is that SME’s choose a specialist adviser who can recommend the right financial products for their specific business needs.
