The manufacturing sector is an extremely complex one. In the current period where economies around the world are faltering, it is not surprising that a lot of owners of UK manufacturing firms are forecasting low growth and feeling bleak about the future.
Some manufacturing company owners are in the situation where they are no longer able to pay all their bills.
If this sounds like your situation, you need to get specialist, professional advice now. The sooner you deal with the problems the better it will be for you.
What are the causes of the problems for owners of a manufacturing company?
There are many things that could be causing cashflow problems for your business, such as:
- the uncertainty surrounding Brexit
- the harsh economic climate
- customers paying late
- disrupted supply chains
- reduced access to necessary raw materials
- increased competition from other nations with lower labour costs
- increases in the Minimum Wage
- ‘automatic enrolment’ (where all employers will, by law, have to provide their workers with a workplace pension scheme).
