London Olympics Offer $1 Billion Opportunity for Small Business

With two years to go to the London 2012 Olympic Games, about 700 million pounds ($1.1 billion) of contracts are available for small companies, Lloyds Banking Group Plc said.

“Down the supply chain, there are still a lot of opportunities,” Chris Daniels, head of the bank’s London 2012 business team, said in an interview. “A little less than 700 million pounds is still up for grabs.”
