Cashing out, but staying in
We see a lot of business owners wanting to take cash out of their business, but without selling up or losing control. At the moment there are many owners who had planned on selling their businesses by now, but as a consequence of the recent difficult times, it just hasn't happened - the clocks have been forcefully turned back. So, instead of selling, they may want some liquidity to provide security for themselves and their family. Another scenario where cash may need to be taken out is when, for example, there are two shareholders and one of them is retiring. Unless personal funds are available, the shareholder who is staying in may not want to be left with burdensome debts when his partner is safely out, so may also like some cash.

Access to Finance: Constraints of growth-oriented enterprises
The starting point for a Focus Group Discussion was an exercise whereby the participants were asked to write down constraints they had encountered in growing or trying to grow their enterprises.
