Top 25 World Banks

In most recent times these folks have lost nearly $100 billion - do you think they are actively seeking new loans right now? Probably not - if you are a customer tread lightly and bring a solid bit of collateral (not mortgages, sorry) to the table.

It's a goofy lending world out there, but for the folks under $21MM in Revenue at least you have the SBA to consider.

Credit in this Environment? - Good Luck!

The crunch isn't over yet - I was on a call with some college friends recently and they were joking about which of their firms would go down first, UBS or Lehman. After the Bear bailout, probably neither. Still - not a good sign that the financial crunch, meaning lack of credit even for good borrowers, is over.

If you are a small company looking for money in this environment - look to friends or family. The banks or other lenders are looking elsewhere for now, Treasuries anyone?
