The business loan market in the UK remains particularly sluggish, despite many attempts by the government to get high street banks to start offering loans to small and medium sized businesses, in an attempt to help to revitalise the UK economy. Although the majority of high street banks still seem extremely reluctant to offer business loans to firms, HSBC has seen a dramatic increase in the number of loans it is offering to small and medium sized firms, with around £3.1 billion worth of new business loans being offered in the first three months of this year alone.
