The BBA provides a resource to help small businesses with financial planning.

We provide information to help customers choose a bank best suited to individual circumstances and publish help and information covering a variety of commonly asked questions.

The BBA also collects and publishes information about bank lending to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This reflects the importance of lending to the sector as it enables businesses to grow, take on more employees and ultimately generate greater wealth. While the benefits of lending to SMEs and to the wider society are clear, it’s important that banks can earn a return on this activity in order to sustain that service throughout the business cycle.
