    7 Percent Of SME Businesses Have Business Loans

    In our recent survey, we asked a group of 100 SME businesses if they had a business loan. 7% said that they did so 93% don't have a business loan. This is an interesting contrast to the 88% who said they had an overdraft. This places overdraft as a more widely used form of finance than business loans.

    This is much higher than the percentage that uses invoice finance, factoring and invoice discounting (less than 1%). In our previous surveys, 35% of businesses thought that the reason for the low take up of invoice finance was that the products were not well promoted and hence were not known about.
