Venturi (President Confesercenti) denounces the closure of more small-medium enterprises, which not being able to turn to banks for a loan, end up in the hands of usurers.
‘The crisis makes small businesses more exposed to moneylenders – he explains – In 2008 at least 15,000 have closed because ‘over-indebted and often choked. The first data of 2009 confirm this trend. “
The figure is alarming and I think a lack of information, linked to the economic crisis has led to achieve those results. If banks implement tightening credit and provide money only to those who already have, logically the single entrepreneur finds he having to ask for money elsewhere, ending sometimes in the wrong hands.
Banks to acquire new customers and prevent such phenomena, could carry out an advertising campaign that outlines some products to those affected by the crisis and that in a moment of weakness are addressed to those who should not.
Full information can encourage a relationship with the banks and improve the image the lending institution.
However, if finished in the money-lenders, reported to authorities what happened, because only they can do to end the inevitable sequence of dangers to which there exponent daily.
