Banks can choose to embrace us or continue to abandon us. It’s easy to back a winning horse, but for small business we need you when the going is tough, not when the winning post is in sight.
When i started my business of www.4networking.biz, the banks basically laughed in my face, the biz manager didn't "get it" thought i was cuckoo.
Told me to come back in 2 years in a way which he never actually said come back in 2 years.
Cleary the banks have had a bad run of late, but maybe they are responsible for that, for going after the lucractive BIG TICKET money, rather than the relatively small beans that small business like 4N was back then required across the UK.
So now the reasons that SBiz can't get money is teh banks are now sitting on the bails outs and even more scared to make a call.
Any decision is a bad one.
You get onboard with small business banks, because the refusal to engage as in really engage right now will come back to bite you in the arse, next week, next month, next year.
We are having to go it alone and rely on self and interdependancy of other small business.

Either way we're gonna move forward are you?
