Top ten tips for SMEs
Most small businesses depend on a bank overdraft to keep their company afloat. That's fine if you are able to arrange overdraft facilities. It is well-recognised that it is easier for established, successful companies to borrow money than start-ups. It's a matter of assessing risk.
