Small Businesses Empowered to Take Control of Their Banking with New Financial Guide

Small businesses being crippled by bank charges and restrictive lending practices are being urged to take back control in a new publication launched this month.

Somerset, United Kingdom, July 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Small businesses being crippled by bank charges and restrictive lending practices are being urged to take back control in a new publication launched this month.

The Small Business Banking Advice Guide, produced by Independent Banking Advisers Attfield James, offers invaluable inside knowledge on how to negotiate lower banking fees, reduce overdraft interest rates and eradicate excessive excess charges.

Made up of 16 individual modules, which can be bought separately or as a package depending on your needs, the Banking Advice Guide can be updated quarterly by e-mail.

The Banking Advice Guide Introduction module can be downloaded free of charge by all businesses registering online on the www.bankingadviceguide.co.uk site.

To ensure total peace of mind, Attfield James is also offering free custom banking advice on the modules purchased – by telephone and e-mail – for 90 days from the date of purchase to businesses that purchase a package before September 1st 2009.

Attfield James is uniquely qualified to provide this advice to small businesses, being the leading firm of independent banking advisers currently operating in the UK.

Jim Willis, one of the company’s founding directors says, “For many small businesses, the level of support offered by their bank is critical to their survival. If that support is absent or negative, they will have difficulty surviving and may well fail.

“The Banking Advice Guide for Small Businesses provides user-friendly, practical advice, to show them how to negotiate what they need from their banks at the right price, and how to cope with existing or looming bank problems.

“Using that advice, one recent customer negotiated his interest rate down from 11% to 4% above Base while another was able to reduce an arrangement fee from 5% down to 1% – saving him £4,000.”

To register for the Banking Advice Guide for Small Businesses, and receive your free introductory module, visit www.bankingadviceguide.co.uk where you will find details of modules currently available and launch dates for upcoming titles.
