How do interest rates affect small firms which tend to rely on overdrafts and loans for finance?
Adversely, in two ways. As the old saying goes, if you borrow a thousand, you have a problem but if you borrow a million, the bank has a problem! So small firms, which typically will have smaller loan requirements are at the mercy of financial institutions. They may be less credit-worthy, have less collateral that larger firms and so may have to pay a greater premium for borrowing. Small firms are also more likely to have to wait longer before being paid by big firms. As a result, small firms are more likely to require overdraft facilities.

This can result in price rigidity and collusive behavior, as firms may coordinate to maximize profits. Conversely, a larger number of firms within an oligopoly can increase competition, making it less likely for firms to engage in collusion and potentially leading to lower prices and increased innovation.
