Hi, can't find similar thread, please merge if known.
Does anyone know of modelling which shows the relationship between consumer debt and how SME loans perform? Or whether there's an impact on a particular SME sector. e.g. where does affordable luxury stop - is it coffee; sofas; UK holidays?
People are struggling with household bills, therefore they wouldn't have money for affordable luxury? Or is it that there is a high enough population now such that there are enough people with money to continue to purchase from SMEs?
There are quite a few platforms dealing with p2B now, and there's a lot of discussion around consumer debt p2p platforms and how they survive, but I wonder whether there is a known relationship, e.g. consumer debt is xyz, and therefore the default rate in SME loans tends to rise by x%?

It's true there are lots of interesting articles. Like this one, written by pay day loan lender, put the blame mostly to government policies for a rise in household debt, like freezing public sector pays, reducing benefits and reforming benefits. www.paydayloansnet.co.uk/blog/credit-uk/uk-household-debt/
