Banks’ attitude to small business in UK:-
Pre 1980 not interested in small business 1980s enthusiastic, even foolish, lending, incentives late 1980s recession and bad debt, clamp down on SMEs (banks “killed off” many SMEs by drawing in loans) 1990s - more “business-like”, a business plan is required, incentives for new SMEs, e.g.free banking for 18 months 2000 - dot.coms became dot.bombs (no business plans!!) so now a business plan is more important than ever. 2008 – credit crunch, banks even more reluctant to lend to SMEs

Banks’ attitude to small business in UK:-
Now banks often reject the first business plan and insist that you revise and improve your plan.
A cash flow spreadsheet forecast is essential, with realistic & pessimistic scenarios.
Typically UK banks look for a quick (2 – 3 year) payback

“Banks Clean Up Their Act” 31 October, 2002 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2381919.stm
Eight of the UK's main banks have agreed to change the way they treat small business customers.
The banks concerned have agreed to the so-called behavioural remedies recommended by the Competition Commission. The proposals cover measures to make it easier to switch banks and to increase the transparency of bank charges.

Timing of payments is key
Keep your customers happy
Keep your suppliers paid
A love of money is the root of all evil
But ….. Money is the root of all evil
