Economic growth is slowing, inflation remains stubbornly high, and many businesses are feeling the pressure. But according to one leading business banker, now isn't the time to stand still.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Sam Tomaras, Head of Business Banking at Bank of Sydney, about how small and medium-sized businesses are navigating one of the toughest operating environments in years. Tomaras explains why experienced business owners are looking for opportunities rather than waiting on the sidelines, why every business should conduct a regular financial health check, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right advisers.

Bank of Sydney works with BlueChip Communication, which is a supporter of Fear & Greed.
