Are you a Permanent Non-Borrower?... you're not alone...

A third wouldn't borrow money - even if they were paid to ?



Owner Managed Businesses (SMEs) are becoming increasingly self sufficient and shunning all forms of borrowing... 


31% are now classified as Permanent Non-Borrowers (PNBs)... the highest level to date and up from 20% in Q1 of 2012... 

That's a problem for the Bankers et al who finance SMEs because roughly a third of SMEs have had no 'borrowing event' in the last 5 years, and don't plan to have one in the future either...
