Swoop State of Business survey 2022

“The SME sector is hugely diverse and shouldn’t be treated like a monolith.”

Since the 2021 Swoop State of Business survey was carried out, huge changes have hit the UK’s business community. 

The government’s biggest boost to help businesses through COVID-19 has been wound down and relaunched, inflation has become an issue and it has never been more important for business owners to have visibility of a funding market that is getting larger and more complex with every passing month. 

Swoop’s exclusive survey analyses responses from 1,700 UK business owners to find out how businesses are feeling about the future, the financial services they receive and what our community needs to continue to grow and thrive.

Different providers pay different rates. For certain lenders, we may have influence over the interest rate, which can impact the total amount payable under your agreement.
