 After a shock to the system among small companies last Autumn as energy prices soared, optimism has returned to the SME sector. That’s according to the latest Linked Finance SME Confidence Index which recorded a reading of 60. Anything above 50 denotes growth. Niall O’Grady, CEO of the peer-to-peer lending platform Linked Finance spoke to Joe this morning with this reaction to these findings.
