The Financial Stresses Constraining 40% of Your Small Business Clients

Six in ten small business owners feel their business is financially healthy.  Four in ten do not, feeling that the business is cash constrained, capital constrained, or both.  Yes, micro small businesses are more likely to feel these constraints, but larger small businesses are not immune.

A small business owner's views of the financial health of their business has a huge impact on how they interact with their bank today -- sales and service channel preferences, the products they use, the problems they experience, and more.  And small business financial health strongly influences their willingness to do business with the bank in the future or seek alternative providers.

This presentation will address options for banks to use proactive relationship management, technology and digital tools, and risk mitigation solutions to help small business clients address today's leading financial stressors.
