Small and medium firms are sources of growth for accountants, venture capitalists and merchant banks.

Financial services companies are increasingly offering more than one type of service, with banks offering advice on corporate finance and a stock broker offering venture capital services.

The local economy has been affected by changes in the world economy which have reduced demand for Manchester's manufacturing exports.
