Small Business Optimism At Five-Year Low

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I recently apply for a loan with my 5 year history banker,

this is about a month and a half a go. In the beginning he was very possitive, he said it was no problem. I needed to wait 48 hrs. for a program that the government guaranties 85% of loan. Now he says that because my sales are down from other years he doesn't want to do anything. You are talking about revenues down and the bad economy. I wonder why bankers do not think that way!
