AB  - The failure rate of small firms in the UK is high, but there is little
reliable evidence as to what factors account for success or failure in
small businesses. Lending organizations have adopted a set of criteria
that they use to evaluate new business proposals. One lending
organization sponsored a research project with the object of identifying
whether a general set of competences could be found which were
associated with effective performance in the region. Describes the
setting up and findings of the research, and identifies the competences
that were found.
