We would like to invite you to join us at a private virtual roundtable event being held by  Business West  Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce, TSB and the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Fair Business Banking. The event, will explore the challenges of managing debt, acquired during the crisis, in a post pandemic world.

Taking risks is part of running a small business, but it’s not easy to plan for the unexpected, especially when it’s a global pandemic. Research from the British Chambers of Commerce shows that almost half of firms have reported an increase in debt since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic. Over half of firms are looking to access finance over the next twelve months, but a quarter of respondents describe their current level of debt as either ’unmanageable’ or ‘high and manageable’.

This roundtable discussion, delivered in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce, TSB and the APPG for Fair Business Banking will bring SMEs from a wide range of sectors together to discuss how to manage debt in a post-pandemic world.

This roundtable discussion will:

• Share best practice for managing what your business owes

• Cover the options that are available to your business

• Explore what your business needs to grow in the next 12 months

• What lenders and government can do to support their customers through the recovery

Please book to attend - the Zoom link will be in the Eventbrite confirmation e-mail you receive once you have registered.
