Finding Funding

Anne-Maree Denaro - Monday, August 31, 2009

We’ve recently read two very interesting articles on business sales.

 

Firstly Sue Prestney seems understandably concerned about the lost opportunities arising from the lack of debt funding available for business acquisitions.


Ms Prestney laments jobs never created, innovative products never produced and profits never made because enthusiastic business buyers can’t get finance.

 

Leon Gettler has penned a lengthy article on exit strategies in the excellent online publication Smart Company.

  

The section of the article that really caught our eye and gave a wry smile was an excellent two line comment at the end of the article by reader ‘eyesopen’ who suggests that was all very well and good but it comes unstuck in the execution phase because banks aren’t lending to SMEs.
