Financing

Business Challenges

 

Access to financing on reasonable terms continues to be a challenge for many businesses. According to Axiom's analysis, while high yield credit spreads have returned to "pre-Lehman" levels, non-investment grade, private companies are still paying an annualized cost of capital in the mid-teens. While lower than the 24%+ of late 2008, for many businesses this level is still expensive.
