John Eaden

After a lengthy background in the banking sector primarily in lending roles for the SME sector, I have started a business offering independent business banking advice for SME owners.
The lack of expert, independent, accessible and affordable business banking advice continues to place SMEs at a disadvantage to other businesses. Big corporates have more bargaining power but when it comes to dealing with banks, the SME owner really has nowhere to go.
I believe SMEs deserve better banking relationships so my firm exists to stand up for them and reduce the power imbalance between SMEs and their banks.
In my previous role I spent 9 years facilitating business training workshops for ~ 2,500 SME owners each year across a range of 13 topics covering finance, marketing and business planning, risk and people management.
As a consequence I have a very good understanding of the needs, challenges and what most owners are seeking from their businesses and their banking relationship.
