Actually the opposite is true and thing are getting worse.

40% expect to let staff go

70% dont expect to be in business next year if things don’t change

The worst hit sector is Construction followed by Retail, Distribution and Manufacturing.

The biggest problems faced by SME’s include fall in orders BUT more worryingly lack of access to credit. Hmmmm – gues those banks are not fulfilling their side of the deal!!
