A bumper UK business news update today and the picture is becoming clearer.

Rising energy costs are feeding through into inflation, hiring is slowing, and consumer confidence has dropped to a two-year low.

At the same time, insolvency activity continues to build across multiple sectors.

For SMEs selling on credit, this is a warning sign.
Cashflow pressure rarely appears all at once, it builds quietly before becoming a serious risk.

Now is the time to:
• Review customer risk
• Tighten credit control
• Act early on overdue accounts

CPA supports businesses to protect cashflow while maintaining customer relationships.
