## Resource

Businesses are crashing at record rates as liquidations surge nearly double from just three years ago, with transport, hospitality, manufacturing, and construction hit hardest. Experts warn cash flow and expense control are non-negotiable—many need to raise prices to survive rising costs. A shocking one in six firms have less than a month’s cash reserves, exposing how thin margins and delayed payments threaten survival. With households tightening belts, businesses must act now: track real cash, adjust pricing, and prioritize survival over short-term appearances.
