Planning ahead and arming yourself with the right

Planning ahead and arming yourself with the right information can help you to adapt, survive and even thrive in tough economic times, such as a potential recession 📉 In our next LinkedIn Live, we’ll look at key issues to address, and the practical steps you can take in your business today. It is an important topic for any business owner. Join us this upcoming Monday 6th March 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm as we continue our 'Grow your Business with Graham' series. Get a reminder for the event here: https://www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:7035916353442054144/ 🤩 Are we in recession? 🧐 Recession is usually defined as when Gross Domestic Product (GDP) falls for two quarters in a row. We’ve narrowly avoided it, with a fall in GDP in Q3 followed by 0% growth in Q4 2022. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) thinks our economy will shrink in 2023, and there’s no argument that we’re experiencing tough times with inflation running at over 10%, and food, bills and housing costs much higher. 👉 How will I benefit from the event? As business leader, owner and chartered accountant, Graham has been through more than one recession. In this live event we’ll discuss the problems (and opportunities) brought by recession. We’ll explain why it’s vital to protect your cashflow, and how to do this. Furthermore we’ll share ways you can adapt to change. You’ll be able to put your questions directly to Graham on the day too! 👍 #WCS #WessexCommercial #WCSNotjustaccountants #recession #recessionuk #linkedinlive #accountant #business #growth #profits #biz #strategy #inflation #margins
