What's in it for you?

This 4-module accelerator is designed to help you scale-up businesses (£500k turnover minimum) take control of risk, protect cash flow, and plan for growth. You’ll walk away with more knowledge about:

• Supply chain resilience and cash flow: identifying supply chain vulnerabilities, diversifying suppliers and optimising working capital
• Export resilience: managing regulatory compliance, foreign market exposure, and currency risk
• Late payment risk: identifying high-risk customers, setting effective credit policies, and enforcing payment terms
• Economic pressures and market trends: analysing current costs, consumer shifts, and sector trends to identify risk and opportunity

You’ll leave feeling ready to face economic pressures, supply chain shocks, and financial uncertainty with confidence.

Why join the accelerator?

Running a food and drink business in the UK is tough; resilience is essential.
