Introduction
With 62% of UK SMEs reportedly owed money, at an average of more than £21,000, cashflow pressure is already a reality for many businesses.
In this Commercial Conversations webinar, Alex McPherson, Managing Partner and Founder of Ignition Law, and Tom Russell, Director at James Cowper Kreston, explored how SMEs can take control of their cashflow, manage debt effectively and make informed decisions in uncertain economic conditions.
They were joined by Tammy Evans, Partner at Ignition Law, who shared practical legal insight into debt management and recovery.
We covered:
- How to strengthen cashflow quickly and sustainably
- When and how to manage, restructure or recover debt
- What to consider if a business is approaching financial distress
- How timely legal and financial advice can help businesses protect their position rather than simply react
The session offered straightforward, commercially focused guidance for SME owners, founders, managing directors, finance directors and anyone responsible for cashflow, financial planning or debt management.
