Indeed, many businesses in this sector may currently be searching for more products like this to help ensure their operating systems are as efficient and effective as possible.

Improved access to finance

To get their hands on touch screen technology, enterprises need to access the necessary funding and new figures provided by the manufacturers’ organization the EEF suggests this process may be getting easier for companies.It claimed that the balance of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) reporting improved finance availability is at its highest in over a year. Meanwhile, the proportion of firms reporting a decrease in the cost of finance has risen and access to finance from parent companies has improved.Meanwhile, more than a fifth of businesses expect to demand more external finance to support investment in the year ahead.

Encouraging

Commenting on the findings, EEF chief economist Lee Hopley said: “We’ve seen a few quarters of modest improvement in lending which is encouraging. With companies, on balance, expecting their demand for external finance to increase next year, progress on increasing the flow of credit and getting the cost down has to be sustained and built upon going forward.

“We are yet to see the details of the new Business Bank but, what it must do, is start to provide a long-term solution to the underlying problem of a lack of competition in SME banking.”
