In January there is usually a spike in the number of retail business insolvencies. It’s important retailers think about what trading is going to be like in the lead up to Christmas and review labour budgets and sales forecasts. Mark Hoppe, Managing Director of Atradius ANZ, explains how credit insurance can help retailers avoid going out of business by protecting their cash flow.
