Abstract
Explores the availability of trade credit for UK construction firms and how they rely upon it to support their operations. Looks at: how companies in the construction sector finance their work; how finance structures within the construction sector compare to those of the economy as a whole; how the way construction companies fund themselves differs between main contractors and subcontractors, and by size of firm; and whether the structure of construction industry finance significantly altered since the financial and banking crisis. Makes recommendations on the implications of these findings for companies in the construction sector.
