Cash and debt are the biggest priorities for mid-sized Scottish businesses over the next six months, as companies prepare for an anticipated recession later this year.
Current market conditions are creating significant challenges for Scottish businesses, with managing cash flow an immediate priority for almost a third of companies (29%); with the same number stating that making loan repayments is top of their list.
Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO conducts a bi-monthly survey of 500 medium-sized businesses - defined as having revenue between £10m and £300m - with 51 Scottish businesses taking part in the latest poll.
