If there’s one ‘moving feast” topic which is almost impossible to keep track of its small business lending. If its not the RBA changing rates its the Big Four changing their requirements for small business loans and then throw in a Royal Commission or two and if you’re not an expert you haven’t got a hope of working out where you stand when it comes to the likelihood of small business finance.

But luckily we do have with us today our resident Small Business Lending expert. Declan is part of the Valiant Finance Team, who work as part of the government’s Business Connect program. An initiative of the Small Business Commissioner, Business Connect is there to support small business through advice, workshops & education and one on one sessions with an expert. Declan is one of those experts.
