Last week, as it raised interest rates to 1.75%, the Bank of England warned that the UK will fall into recession later this year.
It expects the economy to start shrinking in the last three months of 2022 and to continue to shrink until the end of 2023.
Business leaders need to consider what this means for their company and start preparing for the downturn now.
While there are many ways companies can prepare for recession, here are five to get started with.
1. Make a plan, but prepare to pivot if necessary
2. Secure access to cash, but not at any cost
3. Be prepared to scale up (with adequate working capital in place), and down, quickly
4. Don’t let slow debtors delay your cash flow
5. Optimise your inventory
