#Expert advice
A supplier’s bankruptcy isn’t just a minor disruption. It can trigger a chain reaction that affects your business at every level. You might assume the damage is limited to a missed delivery or an unpaid invoice. But the real impact often goes much deeper. Financial losses, operational slowdowns, reputational risks, and growing pressure on your internal teams are just the beginning. If you're running a SME, especially one dependent on custom parts or international supply chains, your supplier’s failure can echo through your business for months. So what does that really look like in practice? Let’s break it down, step by step.
