Its now a blatant fact that the United Kingdom Economy is in decline and Company Directors interested in their Companies existence must have a plan or they will most certainly go into administration
A record number of companies and shops went into insolvency over the Christmas period caused by the really awful trading conditions.
Stores and Companies to be effected by the economic downturn are Savvi the music retailer formerly Virgin Megastore, Adams the Independent childrens clothes retailer, USC the Fashion store and Whittard of Chelsea, the specialist tea and coffee retailer.
Another victim of the recession has been our beloved Woolworths that went into administration just before Christmas and saw its final stores close on the 5th of January 2009, which has left 27,000 people facing redundancy.
A business owner should be thinking how can I survive this economic slump? The Turnaround Management Association says that for a business to achieve a successful turnaround it needs four things; a credible management team, a viable business core, a valid business plan and appropriate funding.
Traditional sources of finance have been restricted to very low levels due to the Credit Crunch and lack of liquidity within the money markets. This constriction of lending has brought about a Cash Flow squeeze on UK plc.
As an economy enters into recession one of the first thing a business should start consistently doing is keeping a tight rain upon costs. A firm hand upon expenses can save a business. Look at shipping costs, promotion and marketing, business location and even the simplest things such as turning off the office lights at the end of the working day.
Cash is King and Company Directors looking to avoid the pain caused by an economic downturn should seek out alternative sources of funding such as debt factoring, which is increasingly popular for small to medium businesses. While not suitable for all businesses, the huge benefit of debt factoring is that rather than have money tied up in invoices that are yet to be paid, you can receive an initial payment up front, typically 80% - 85% of the gross value, and the remainder when the customer pays the invoices to an invoice finance provider, less the service fee which has been negotiated with them. However, if the customer defaults on payment, then the factoring company will recover the money provided to you initially from any further invoices which are factored. This can lead to unpredictable working capital if customers are poor payers or they go into insolvency. - 16928
