small business loans

NEW YORK, NY (Press Release – Feb. 9, 2012) – The Biz2Credit Small Business Lending Index, an analysis of 1,000 loan applications on Biz2credit.com, found that approval rates of small business financing requests in January by small banks and non-bank lenders increased to their highest levels in the past 12 months.

Meanwhile, lending at big banks jumped two percentage points over December’s rate to 11.7%, the highest rate since February 2011.

New federal data show that the number of small bank loans to business has fallen to the lowest point in more than a decade, cutting the flow of money to a sector that's usually a job-creation powerhouse.

The Royal Bank of Scotland plans to boost lending to small businesses by at least 15% in three months as part of a drive to get behind the economic recovery.
