Salamanca Group Chairman, Martin Bellamy was interviewed by Ian King on Sky News, the interview centered on the issues around SMEs and the Bounce Back Loans.

The UK’s economy is heavily dependent on small-medium enterprises (SMEs). According to the Federation of Small Businesses, at the start of 2019, there were 5.9 million SMEs in Britain, which by generating £2.2 trillion accounted for half of all turnover in the UK.

The UK, currently in the grip of Covid-19, is experiencing a massive strain upon our health service. The NHS needs more ventilators to cope with the expected caseload. To help the government supply the NHS with this equipment, the private sector must play its part where it can in lending a helping hand.

Britain’s economy is underpinned by small-medium enterprises (SMEs). With over 5.9 million SMEs in the UK in 2019, these businesses make up 99% of all our businesses. But the government’s emergency coronavirus business interruption loan scheme (CBILS) is proving to be inaccessible for the majority of SMEs, who are in desperate need of cash injections to stay afloat during this crisis. In response, Salamanca Group has set up an advisory process to smooth this process for SMEs and help Britain’s economy weather the storm.

Salamanca Group has set up an advisory process to smooth this process and help Britain’s economy weather the storm.
