  • Why Do Small Businesses Go Bust in the UK? The #1 Reason Unveiled!

Despite the relentless efforts of dedicated entrepreneurs, numerous small businesses in the UK encounter financial challenges.

📉 The primary culprit? Cash Flow Issues.

Research indicates that an astounding 82% of small businesses fail due to inadequate cash flow management. Critical statistics include:

🚫 43% of businesses suffer from late payments, which significantly disrupts their cash flow.

📉 58% grapple with cash flow issues because they lack a proper cash flow forecast.

Even profitable businesses can face difficulties without effective cash flow management. Ensuring timely payments, maintaining a healthy cash reserve, and implementing a robust cash flow forecast are essential steps. Strategic finance support and the guidance of an accountant for SME can be pivotal in keeping your business solvent.
