'Tis the season to be diligent! Business failure in January is rife....

Christmas has come and gone, the Christmas trees have all but gone, people have eaten their fill and now is the time for people to return to work and their businesses to be collecting their outstanding monies from their customers. 

But as we all know the pre-Christmas spirit rarely transfers into the new year.

January is statistically the month in which most UK businesses fail. Whether it be the sad story of their bigger customers withholding payments longer than they might or the more sinister reasons that cause small businesses to fail just shortly after the Christmas boom.

Lets be honest you have worked hard to acquire the customer, quote for your products or services, deliver them to the best of your ability but now all you want is to be paid... Isn't that the way it should be?
