Small to medium enterprises urged to ask for help if needed
​Small and medium businesses on the Isle of Man are being urged to talk to their lenders if they are experiencing financial difficulties.
The group chief executive of the Manx Financial Group – which owns Conister Bank - has issued the plea after the Bank of England’s decision to raise the interest base rate to 5-percent.
Douglas Grant believes it will have a ‘double whammy’ effect for businesses already struggling.
He says they should treat the rise as another reminder to review their existing lending structures to ensure they’re prepared for further challenges:
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
New board members sought for abattoir
Controversial local authority legislation debate deferred to end of March
