🔍 UK GDP Growth: A Turning Point or a Warning Sign? The latest GDP figures show that the UK economy grew by 0.1% in Q4 2024, defying expectations. However, while this may suggest resilience, the reality for many businesses remains far from optimistic. Persistent cost pressures, rising taxes, and geopolitical uncertainties are squeezing SMEs, making it harder to invest, expand, or even maintain operations. At #ConisterBank, we see this impact first-hand. Our latest research shows that nearly a third of UK SMEs have had to pause or scale back operations due to financial constraints. While this is an improvement from 40% last year, access to external funding remains a challenge for too many businesses. 💡 What needs to change? With SMEs at the heart of economic growth, job creation, and innovation, the lending landscape must evolve. The UK must prioritise a stable, sustainable financial environment that allows businesses to thrive. As a lender committed to supporting SMEs for nearly 90 years, Conister Bank is dedicated to providing the flexible, responsible funding solutions businesses need—especially in uncertain times. https://lnkd.in/eCdC--vv #SMEs #UKEconomy #BusinessFinance #EconomicGrowth #ConisterBank #LendingForGrowth
