Economic pressures continue to be challenging for businesses and predictions for 2026 suggest that insolvencies will still remain high*. As the UK's growth momentum is likely to remain low, many businesses may face difficulties regarding costs, wages and taxes, with the potential for the impact of 2025's global trade tariffs to now be felt in trade and supply chains.

These factors can create extensive and unwanted consequences. If a customer goes into administration, there might be a risk of unpaid invoices. If a supplier ceases trading, a business could face a significant increase in supply chain costs. Every change can have a ripple effect.

In this webinar, we were joined by Allianz Trade, one of the world's leading credit insurers to discuss:

  • What is happening in the UK and global economies
  • How this impacts businesses and how even those with a strong balance sheet can be at risk
  • How the credit insurance market is continuously evolving — exploring the latest developments, emerging trends and underwriting practices
  • What is credit insurance? Understanding its importance in mitigating financial risks and how it can be utilised as a tool for growth

Who should watch?

This webinar is recommended for anyone involved in procurement, supply chain management, finance, legal or executive leadership roles. Gain valuable insights to proactively safeguard your business against the unforeseen disruptions from insolvency.

This session was broadcast live on Tuesday 21st April 2026 and it reflects our understanding as at the date of the webinar but you will recognise that matters concerning the geopolitical landscape are fast changing.
