Dave Fishwick's interest rises

Watch out big business, Dave Fishwick has you in his sights. The Lancashire businessman who took on the banks and pay day lenders sees another injustice that needs sorting: late payment and its impact on smaller companies.

It’s just one of the issues that the entrepreneur, campaigner, TV star and subject of a major Netflix film now in production, believes needs fixing - and fast.

Nelson-born Dave, who says the big banks “dislike me with a passion”, is equally passionate on this subject. He says: “It’s tough out there for small businesses.

“I say this to my people. If we owe money to somebody pay them quick, don’t make them wait.

“If they have to wait 30, 60, 90, even 120 days to get paid, a small business can really suffer. Pay them immediately
