SFA calls for funds from State-backed investment bank

The Small Firms Association has published its pre-budget submission which outlines the group's wish list for Budget 2014.

The group said the budget must deliver on restoring consumer confidence.

The organisation is also calling on the Government to support SME investment and job creation.

The SFA Chairman, AJ Noonan, said a State-backed investment bank should be established that will provide funding for small and medium enterprises.
