Increasing Uptake of Business Insurance Following Government Boost for SMEs
LONDON, April 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Many business owners are now better able to undertake investment following a government-backed scheme to promote cheaper lending to small and medium-sized enterprises. This has led many small business owners to consider different business insurance options to protect that investment.
The Government recently confirmed that banks will be offering loans at a 1% discount to small and medium-sized businesses on their standard business rates as part of the National Loan Guarantee Scheme. About £5bn of government-guaranteed borrowing has been made available in the first tranche, with up to £20bn to be provided to SMEs over the scheme's two-year period.[1]
However, the business owners who are taking advantage of these loans are seeking to ensure the success of their investment. This has led many to visit price comparison websites such as comparethemarket.com to find the right business insurance. For a growing number of business owners, the right level of cover has become increasingly important.
