Experts Available to Discuss The Struggle to Find Inventory Financing for the Holidays
-(Business Wire)-September 18, 2009 - ExpertSource:
TOPIC: A recent Business Week article notes that small businesses are having difficult getting bank funding for holiday inventory, and some are even resorting to using credit cards. Deloitte's Stacy Janiak is quoted as saying, "The credit crisis is being felt more deeply by small business in general, and retailers are bumping up against credit limits on what they can borrow to fulfill orders." The unpredictability of forecasting holiday sales this year is compounding the woes that small businesses are facing. However, small businesses do have the advantage of knowing their customers better and can align inventory with what customers want to buy.
