In these difficult economic times. Yes, I know, everyone is saying this at the moment. But it is difficult, everyone is struggling with the rising cost of everyday goods and salaries stay as they are and businesses struggling to find new work.

I recently had a client come to me and tell me they were in financial difficulties, which is a huge shame, as they are a brilliant client and have always been very supportive of my business.

This made me think a little and I urge any business that is facing the difficult choice of going insolvent, please remember the little guys, the small businesses that provide services to your business are the ones that will be affected the hardest if their invoices are not paid. The big guys out there, the likes of BT, Dell and Vodafone all have contingency plans for clients going bust, so it will not affect them quite as much.

That’s just my thoughts anyhow…
