As a nation of small business owners here in the UK, for many, owning their own business is something they aspire to for many years before actually taking the plunge and going for it.  It’s a great way of gaining more control over both your life and your finances, though, as any small business owner will tell you, it’s not a bed or roses and, in the early years, you’ll often find yourself working harder than you ever imagined while you get your business up and running.

Here in the UK, we’re a nation of small business owners, indeed more than 99% of all companies here are SMEs and these account for 60% of all private sector employment.  This means that SMEs represent the backbone of our nation’s economy and are one of Britain’s most important financial assets.  However, anybody who’s ever owned and managed a small business will know that it’s not an easy undertaking, there are all sort of challenges to be dealt with and one of the major challenges faced by small companies is the cash flow problem.

Private landlords often experience problems with tenants due to overdue rent payments. We’ve already addressed this issue here at Access Credit Management – after all, we recognise that acting as a private landlord is a form of business activity and may incur debts that necessitate the services of a debt recovery agency.
