Banks are preparing for higher unpaid debts as household cash buffers shrink. For businesses selling on credit, that is a signal to watch.

Today’s CPA Daily Business News examines:

Inflation rising to 3.5% and expectations of higher interest rates.
Weaker consumer confidence and growing payment pressures.
Budget proposals, rising energy costs and insolvency notices.

CPA’s Overdue Account Recovery Service helps businesses secure payment through a professional, considerate approach that preserves customer relationships.
