Bankruptcies were up 32% across the nation in 2009, leaving no doubt that the embers of the recession are still burning and small businesses are at risk from unpaid invoices. In fact, it may be argued that the collective financial health of its customers forms the foundation by which a small company is protected from – or made vulnerable to – financial disaster.

Generally, goods sold on a line of credit become a security for the creditor. In other words, if a mechanic declares bankruptcy, the tire supplier has rights to the unpaid tires setting on the shelves. What happens, though, if the goods in question are lost to a manufacturing process or, in some other way, are unrecoverable?

Lender can sell the property at auction in order to recover the amount of loan or mortgage. This is not a simple step to take; it is legal process and involved many formalities.

More than one million people are talking out so-called “payday” loans to help them make ends meet, to the concern of debt support groups.

The number of people taking out short-term loans has quadrupled since 1996, with more than £1.2bn being borrowed last year.

Payday loans are usually small loans, typically no more than £300-500, that are targeted at those people who need a quick cash loan for a short-term period, usually to cover exceptional expenses close to pay day.

But the loans have been criticised by some groups, with many short-term loans being charged at interest rates in excess of 2,000% APR, making them an extremely expensive form of borrowing as many short-term loans become “rolled over” when the borrower cannot repay on time.

”Payday loans are a valid form of credit and it’s much better for people to take one out rather than go to a loan shark,” said Sarah Brooks, head of financial services at Consumer Focus.

“But we do think there needs to be a limit on the number of loans people take out and how many loans they are able to roll over.”

However, the pay day loan industry says when managed properly, many people find this type of lending easy to understand and less risky.

”There is a reluctance among many consumers to take on long term loans from traditional lenders, because they feel their financial situation could change,” said John Lamidy from the Consumer Finance Association.

“But they find that the short term credit offered by the pay day loans industry does meet their needs.

”We are working with Consumer Focus to find out how serious the problems they identify are and whether they affect lots of people or just a few,” he added.
