Retail Business Financing Questionable As Moody’s Downgrades Sector

Moody’s Investors Service lowered its assessment of the retail sector to “stable” today. Previously, the investment analysis firm had given retailers a “positive” outlook. Despite the fact that some analysts are now saying the recession is finished, prospects for retail store business financing opportunities through traditional lenders don’t look promising.

This poses a problem for retailers as they head into the holiday shopping season. Having received only a modest boost in sales during the “back-to-school” season in August, retailers are looking to holiday sales to boost their bottom lines. Getting retail business financing is critical to help ease holiday cash flow problems, hire additional workers, stock up on merchandise and set aggressive pricing for holiday shoppers.
