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 Don't gam ble when choosing a correspondent bank.
