Image Remember back to the days when credit was literally abundant, nearly everyone could get their hands on it in some form or another. It like almost like the lenders were falling over themselves to give/lend it to consumers... Then came the inevitable credit crunch (inevitable being the operative word in this context) and lenders battened down the hatches and stopped lending almost entirely.

As the main stream lending products dried up, new, niche products emereged such as Loans Involving A Guarantor. These products opened up doorways to a market of consumers who were no longer able to get their hands on any sort of credit. This type of loan was the first in a variety of different thinking strategies introduced by the financial services sector. The aim being to increase lending to consumers (and ultimately drive a profit) whilst still maintaining a high degree of lending security so that there wasn't another credit crunch repeat.

This forward and change in thinking is what has driven the financial services for the past couple of years up until now. Now we are at a dawn where the recession is pretty much a thing of the past and where the credit crunched has finally made it's last crunch. Unemployment is falling and general consumer mood is up. So what does this mean for the forward thinking financial services? Well, I think that most should see it as a fresh start to modernise their practises and lending stategies so that everything is conducted in a controlled manner and people don't get carried away by making profits which look good on paper but never materialise.

The finance industry should follow the stance taken by forward thinking loan providers such as Guarantor Loans Company and change the way it operates and lends, ensuring that credit crunches are a thing of the past and better lending and control of financial assets is the future,
