Atradius has announced a free online Food & Drink Accelerator for UK SMEs, launching in early 2026, to help food and drink businesses build resilience and plan for growth amid rising insolvency risk. The programme offers short modules (around 45-60 minutes) covering supply-chain resilience, export confidence (regulation, currency and market exposure), late-payment protection (credit policies and enforcing terms), and market insight on costs, consumer shifts and sector trends. Participants can also submit follow-up questions to four experts. Atradius notes that 60% of UK food and drink businesses close within their first year and 80% within five years, and that UK SMEs lost 76% of their cash reserves to business risks last year For more information, go to https://atradius.co.uk/food-and-drink-accelerato
