Provision Of Growth Capital To Uk Sm Es ReportGina Evans
This document provides an overview of a review conducted on the provision of growth capital to UK small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The review was led by Chris Rowlands and advised by a panel of experts on SME financing. The review finds that there is a gap in the availability of growth capital for UK SMEs, which is exacerbated by the current recession. It considers the causes of this gap and presents high-level options for potential government intervention to help address the issue and attract more private sector capital to SMEs over the long run.
"Factoring: A Vital Source of Cash to Keep A Supply Chain Moving." - Journal ...Chris Lehnes
The success of nearly every business is dependent on its supply chain. Whether a neighborhood restaurant securing fresh produce from a local farmers market in time for tonight’s menu or a high-tech manufacturer which procures microchips from Asia ordered months in advance, a business will quickly fail if it is unable to reliably obtain the components of their product in time to meet their customers’ expectations.
There are myriad conditions which can disrupt that supply chain. Some of which can be as isolated as local traffic delaying a delivery truck on the last mile of its journey or as far-reaching as a natural disaster which can close ports or destroy the facility of key supplier causing a disruption which may require a business owner to rethink how it acquires its inventory going forward.
Over time, to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the links in many supply chains have become increasingly specialized. This customization has resulted in their rigidity. A supplier of one specific component can often not readily adapt to supply others. During the (hopefully) once-in-a-generation supply chain disruptions brought on the COVID-19 pandemic, many were surprised to learn that the factory which produces toilet paper for sale to commercial property managers cannot easily adapt and package their product for consumers, or the meatpacking plant which can cut and package chicken for bulk sale to restaurants has no simple way to prepare that same poultry for sale to supermarket shoppers.
This inflexibility can at times result in a business having fewer options to fill an unexpected gap in their supply chain, putting suppliers in a powerful position to place, at times, onerous demands on their customers.
Those demands can severely disrupt a business. Knowing substitutions for their product are limited, suppliers may prioritize their top customers, making it harder for smaller customers to procure necessary components. In other cases, suppliers may require large deposits with orders or refuse to offer payment terms at all to customers, insisting upon payment up-front with a purchase order. These payment conditions will create a demand for cash earlier in a company’s production cycle.
This demand can be met in a few ways. If the business is highly profitable, it may generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy this cash needs. In other cases, a business will have access to a line of credit from their bank or an asset-based credit facility from a non-bank lender to meet these cash needs as they arise.
However, most readers of this publication tend to have clients who are not flush with cash or those which may have a lender in place today who is no longer comfortable with the performance of the business and is reducing the size of their credit facility or pressuring them to find a funding alternative. For those clients, factoring may be their best option to meet the cash flow challenges presented by their supply chain.

“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).
