Panorama - Credit Where It's Due

As the Limavady Borough counts highly in the small business category, it might be of interest to some of you that tonight's Panorama on BBC1 is about the Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme.

In an attempt to turn the tide, the government has come up with proposals including the £1.3bn Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme to throw small businesses a lifeline.

However, while welcoming the scheme, organisations representing business - big and small - say positive impact from government initiatives has been slow to materialise, and times are tighter then ever.

In Panorama: Credit Where It's Due, business guru and Dragon's Den star Theo Paphitis, who has been running his own businesses for 26 years, examines whether the banks are doing enough to support small businesses.

The programme is aired tonight at 8:30pm.
