Step 1: Identify
Your Financial Risk Manager will review your:
- balance sheet
- income statement
- cash flow, and
- future business plans.
Where there is risk
- International trade
The risk of not getting paid or receiving goods and services, and changes in currency exchange rates are some of the risks we can help protect your business against. - Changes in interest rates
Changes in interest rates can increase your borrowing costs and affect your cash flow, profit margin and ability to repay and borrow in the future. - Return on savings
Budgeting to understand your cash flow could help identify additional sources of revenue, like returns on your savings.
