Interest Rate and Other Financing Information




If you right click, a new window should open. 

Clicking will take you to a Yahoo Pipes page, at which you can enter terms, such as “interest rate”, “interest”, and “bank rate”.  Once a term is entered, and you run the Pipe, several RSS feeds, with interest rate and other financing information in them, will be searched.  The RSS feeds are from these sources:  bankrate.com, The New York Times, The Federal Reserve Board, RXstreet.com, The Wharton School of Finance, Google News, Yahoo News, International Business Times, and the New Zealand Herald.

The results of the search hopefully will be recent breaking news related to interest rates and financing information.

The graph to the right was created using Google’s graph tools.

The vertical bar graph shows whether small companies have used bank loans, trade credit, both bank loans and trade credit, or neither as a source of financing.

The data in the graph is from a study done by Rebel Cole for the US Small Business Administration.  The study can be read by clicking here (PDF file).

Data shown in the graph should be of interest to small companies in comparing their financing to other small companies.  The study has analysis on company characteristics related to financing choices.

The graph to the right was created using Google’s graph tools.

The vertical graph shows the percentage of small businesses (less than 50 employees) using credit cards (either personal or business credit cards or both) in 2009.  The graph also shows the percentages of these small business credit card users that use their credit cards as a source of credit, meaning that balances are carried on the cards from month to month.

The data in the graph was taken from a Federal Reserve System report to Congress tilted “Report to the Congress on the Use of Credit Cards by Small Businesses and the Credit Card Market for Small Businesses”.   This report (PDF file) can be read by clicking here.   Other Federal Reserve reports to Congress can be accessed by clicking here.

Data on this graph and in the report could be useful to small companies in comparing their use of credit cards and credit card credit (debt) to other small companies.
