		<description>Hi Alastair, 

Funding varies between business types and industries, there is some truth that funding is difficult to obtain but it is far from 'always difficult'.

We only act for 'small' business, actually I hate the word small because in our case this means any business which has a turnover up to £5.5million which I do not consider small, but hey, as I was saying our clients obtain credit and some do find it harder than others yes.

Alot of the time having the right contacts helps.

All that said, I think the word 'always' may become more common with the credit crunch, so maybe we will need to revisit this in 12 months, and I may then sing a different tune.</description>
