A new survey by Float reveals that while 87% of Canadian small and medium businesses (SMBs) are confident in their performance, many face cash flow issues, operational inefficiencies, and outdated banking tools. 🚨 Key challenges include: - Two-thirds of SMBs struggle with cash flow - Traditional banks offer poor customer service, high fees, and outdated processes - 43% lack visibility into their cash flow 💡 Opportunity for innovation: Float’s CEO, Rob Khazzam, emphasizes the urgent need for fintechs to step up and provide integrated solutions that are faster, more accessible, and easier to use. #SMBfinance #Fintech

Yesterday the Bank of Canada cut interest rates by 50bp 👏 This is great news, but it's only a step in the right direction. Our latest survey of nearly 700 Canadian SMBs uncovers that businesses need the right technology and increased access to capital, as well as earnings on their money. Our financial system in Canada is dominated by a few key players that don't always prioritize our 1.2 million small businesses. While a rate cut is healthy, there's so much more we need to demand. Read about more of the challenges, and key drivers, we discovered at this link 👉 https://lnkd.in/gUZusnBV (don't worry, it's free, no email required). It's time to demand more, Canada. 

Canada’s financial services are inadequate for small businesses. They’re outdated, slow, and designed for large institutions, leaving entrepreneurs and SMBs struggling with processes that cost time, money, and opportunity. We believe small businesses deserve financial solutions that work for them—offering speed, access, and ease. That’s why Float is releasing a manifesto for Canadian SMBs: a bold vision for a financial future where businesses like yours can thrive. It’s time for a financial solution that finally matches your ambition. Join the movement. Read more about what we believe SMBs need to manage their cash flow in a modern age. Let’s build this future together. https://lnkd.in/gJENBKxW #SMBs #FinancialInnovation #FutureofFinance #Manifesto #BusinessGrowth #Float
