This is not actually all based on any insight on Interxion, but as a business in a versimilar position to them, the banks are delighted to have performing businesses on their books…………….especially as no one else is trying to borrow any money.

I have a start up – its 2 years old this Christmas – it has only just moved to being profitable – it is cash hungry – and the bank love me today, and have lots of time to spend with me, all because everything else just stalled over the Summer.

I used to tell people I had a Business Process Software Company, and did OK – now I tell them we make software for the 3 R's (Regulation, Risk, Recession) and we have wind in our sails.

Its a reseccion – get into a little debt and its your problem – start a business and get into a load of debt and you become their problem – and problems get attention
