Beg, steal or borrow?

The general state of the economy continues to haunt us, it being the highest polling major concern for business in 2013/14 in the Widthwise Survey 2013. Interestingly, and especially when seen in context of the latest BDRC Finance Monitor (that showed the number of firms using external finance dipped to a new low in the first three months of 2013), the availability/cost of finance polled a lower concern for Widthwise participants than it did last year. What’s your take on that? You can see what Image Reports thinks by reading the Widthwise Report of course, but you’ll have to wait just a few more days. It should be ready from download from the website (http://www.imagereportsmag.co.uk/industry-data/widthwise) by the end of this week.
