Dave Atkinson, regional director for the West Midlands at Lloyds Bank, explains why firms are looking for options like asset finance loans to fund investment and minimise impact on working capital, and to support their growth ambitions.
Businesses' confidence in the West Midlands is maintaining positive momentum. Our latest Business Barometer found that the region’s firms are amongst the most optimistic in the UK, with overall business confidence reaching 56 per cent last month. This was partly driven by higher confidence in their own prospects, which increased by an encouraging 15 points to 58 per cent.
