What's changed when it comes to banks, business loans and commercial mortgages
There has been, in my view:
a major lack of coverage about the changes that have occurred in banks during the current climate, with regard to how businesses can access lending.
As a result, these changes have not reached commercial property owners, business owners and FD's in today’s businesses.
As a further result, businesses believe that the banks are not lending, when this simply isn’t true. Businesses just need a little help in order to become informed.
Below are the 16 headline aspects I believe, as a business loans specialist that a business needs to know about how to successfully engage with banks in general today.
My hope is that you, the business owner/commercial property investor or finance director, will feel more empowered to engage with the right business banking structure for your future.
