In this episode, we speak to Liz Barclay from the Office of Small Business Commission (OSBC), an independent public body set up by the UK Government to tackle late payment and unfavourable payment practices in the private sector.

Liz is also a small business and consumer affairs broadcaster, producer and writer with an in-depth understanding of the issues facing small businesses.

Our host Danny Gallagher chats with Liz about the important topic of cashflow; discussing what it really means, how to create better financial practices, navigating the challenges surrounding cashflow from late payments to working with third parties, and tips for addressing issues head-on. Liz offers important advice on financial planning which leads to a more stable business model, making it possible to pay suppliers and other expenses on time.
