Survey of Businessmen Shows:

Price Is N ot Owner’s M ain Concern
N THE current issue of Commer­
Ilished
cial Lending Newsletter, pub­
by Robert Morris Associates,
is an interesting review of a survey
recently conducted by the National
Federation of Independent Busi­
ness. It is of special interest to com­
munity banks because it was con­
ducted among small businessmen.
The report from the RMA member­
ship letter follows:
* * *
HE interest rate charged on a
loan is not the most important
aspect in a small business-bank rela­
tionship, despite record high
nominal and real rates. This was one
of the findings of surveys the Na­
tional Federation of Independent
Business (NFIB) conducted of its
membership in 1980 and 1982. The
surveys asked small firms to
characterize their desired banking
relationship and to rate the perfor­
mance of their principal banks in
terms of ten aspects of a relation­
ship. All of the characteristics ex­
cept “ offers the cheapest money”
represented nonprice dimensions of
a banking relationship.
Most important
“ Knows you and your business”
was most frequently ranked very im­
portant (67% in both surveys),

T

followed by “ reliable source of
credit” (55%). “ Offers the cheapest
money,” the third most frequently
noted characteristic in the desired
banking relationship, was ranked
very important by 50% of the firms.
Least important
Those characteristics least fre­
quently reported as very important
to the desired banking relationship
were “ providing helpful business
suggestions” and “ comes to you
with ideas for improving bank ser­
vices.” These rankings suggest that
the consulting aspect of the banking
relationship is viewed as less impor­
tant than continuity and availability
of credit.
Ratings of principal bank perfor­
mance differed markedly from the
ratings of desired characteristics in
a banking relationship. Banks most
frequently received good ratings on
accessibility (“ convenient location”
and “ easy access to a loan officer” ).
“ Reliable source of credit,” “ one
person handles credit needs,”
“ knows you and your business,” and
“ offers a wide range of banking ser­
vices,” also received good perfor­
mance ratings, although significant­
ly lower than accessibility.
The two characteristics least fre­
quently rated as very important to

the banking relationship (“ provides
helpful business suggestions” and
“ offers ideas to improve bank ser­
vice” ) were also least frequently
rated good on performance.
Other findings
The NFIB surveys also looked at
the characteristics of small business
borrowers, the sources of small
business loans, the characteristics of
these loans, credit availability for
small business, and bank competi­
tion for small business loans. Major
findings included:
• Most firms were able to satisfy
their financing needs.
• Problems with credit availabili­
ty were related to characteristics of
the firm that in turn are correlated
with the risk of default.
• Small firms do not always pay
more than the prime rate. Few
respondents paid more than 2 points
over the prime rate.
• The average rate paid was rare­
ly more than 150 basis points above
the prime rate. When the prime was
rising (falling), the difference nar­
rowed (widened).
• Differences in rates paid by
market size (urban-rural) and bran­
ching laws existed in 1980 but were
substantially eliminated by 1982.
• Small firms were most likely to
be s o lic ite d b y a bank in
metropolitan areas, statewide bran­
ching states, and in communities
