Late payment was one of the key problem areas highlighted by small companies in BusinessZone.co.uk's recent Business Finance Survey.
BusinessZone.co.uk's huge Business Finance Survey has now closed. Over 450 respondents completed the survey, providing a fascinating snapshot of how UK businesses are dealing with their finance and cashflow issues, and how they plan to meet the challenges in the year ahead. The vast majority of entrepreneurs said they were expecting an improved financial performance from their business in 2010, though late payment is increasingly becoming a worrying issue for many small business owners.
Dragons' Den judges James Caan and Deborah Meaden and social entrepreneur Karen Darby are some of the successful entrepreneurs who feature in our exclusive videos.
