'SMBs are stuck in a banking problem that they need help solving': Autobooks' Steve Robert

The following was produced by Tearsheet Studios. We worked with fintech software provider Autobooks to create a four part podcast series on the evolution of business banking and how banks can better service SMBs through a changing mindset, partnerships and integrations. It’s really hard running a small business -- owners have to wear many hats. Frequently, they’re taking care of sales, operations, customer service and finance all at the same time. You know the expression around kids -- that it takes a village to raise them? Well for a small business, it takes an ecosystem to support them. And that ecosystem should involve their banks. That’s because the most important thing to an SMB is cashflow. If cash is king, cashflow is the oxygen SMBs breathe. Without it, they struggle to survive. Banks play a key role here. Autobooks' Steve Robert explains how banks can step in to fill the void to help their small business customers.
