Lack of access to
overdraft facilities or bank loans is still an issue for Ireland’s small
business community and continues to have a serious effect on trading
and business operations.That’s according to the County and City
Enterprise Boards’ figures in their bi-annual Business and Banking
Confidence survey, which found that over a third of small businesses
felt that the availability of credit has deteriorated since January
2011, representing 37% of all those surveyed.
