Start-ups and many small businesses may act like consumers when it comes to financial matters. At the other end of the scale, large businesses engage financial professionals to use a wide range of products, domestically and internationally, to maximise financial performance.
Projects include:
SME Finance Monitor
The Business Finance Taskforce has brought together leading banks and business groups in a Business Finance Round Table and selected BDRC Continental to conduct, and report on, an independent and authoritative study of SME finance and banking relationships. The first report is now published - SME Finance Monitor.
Business banking customer satisfaction
We conduct studies for a number of clients. The largest, commissioned by HSBC, involves 2,200 telephone interviews each quarter and also tracks bank market share and investigation of drivers of brand choice & switching.
Access to Finance

Following the first SME Access to Finance Survey in 2007, BDRC Continental has run three follow up surveys on behalf of the Scottish Government, and two surveys among mid-cap businesses for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). Latest results for the mid-cap finance survey: 2010 Finance Survey of Mid-cap Businesses
