I watched with horror the same thing happening to our business but on a smaller scale. The pain remains the same. Without any missed payments or defaults, the credit dept decided to change their policy and they 'no longer had an apatite for our particular risk' and the result was the same - pay down the debt that they had provided 5 years previously. Fortunately for us we could conjure up more equity to survive, but we will never be fooled into thinking a bank is an asset for any business. Ours was the ANZ but they are all the same I fear.diehardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196753362596057419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555195201026706903.post-38888234656368388382012-12-14T11:56:36.144+10:002012-12-14T11:56:36.144+10:00Brad, I am so sorry.

I do know that you will be OK. You are a good business man and an inspiring leader so I am positive you will be back, bigger and better.

HSBC lawyers probably kept them just inside the law, but it is they who are morally bankrupt! Take a deep breath as you will survive, recover and regroup. I look forward to your reincarnation as much as I have enjoyed watching your success over years.David Hampsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8555195201026706903.post-79926838488378543492012-12-05T12:05:33.637+10:002012-12-05T12:05:33.637+10:00Thankyou for the exciting 2 years I worked for you...Thankyou for the exciting 2 years I worked for you Brad.
