Following the financial crisis, no industry has faced more challenges than banking. Lenders face increased costs, increased operational and regulatory requirements yet they operate in an increasingly competitive environment.

Whether you have a straightforward current account, overdraft or term loan with a complex suite of FX, interest rate and international trade products, a proactive approach to managing your banking relationship should result in a relationship that benefits your business in the long run.

A formal Business Plan or Request for Finance Proposal will demonstrate to your current bank or other potential lenders, your ability to provide security, repay facilities and demonstrate that your financial commitments are consistent with the long term aims of the business.

While an independent business review will assist in appraising your own company, it will also provide additional assurance to 3rd parties that the valuation and business model are sound.
