How to achieve prompt payment for your business in 2026

Late payments hold too many small businesses back. In this practical and forward-looking webinar, Emma Jones, the Small Business Commissioner, will share how her Office is working to improve payment culture across the UK — and what that means for your business in 2026. 

You’ll get a first look at upcoming plans designed to ensure small firms are paid on time, every time. Emma will explain the rights and protections available to you, how to respond when payments slip, and where to go for support. If maintaining steady cashflow, reducing payment risk, and strengthening client relationships are priorities for your business next year, this session is essential. 

Join us to understand the new landscape, gain confidence in managing payment issues, and put the right steps in place to safeguard your business for the year ahead.
