Finance & Banking Survey

1. Finance and Banking Survey

The Chamber is seeking your views on the current relationship between local SMEs and their Banks.
Your opinion and response is valued. The Survey comprises just 5 short questions and will take seconds to complete.

This Survey is being conducted to challenge/support anecdotal evidence that our Banking institutions are not helping small businesses in the current economic downturn.

The Survey is entirely anonymous and individual responses will remain confidential.

A copy of the results will be sent to all our local Banks, local and regional Press and business support organisations including Business Link North West and the North West Development Agency
