In the quiet hours before a storefront opens, or the frantic minutes before a digital product launch, there is a pulse that dictates the survival of every enterprise: the flow of capital.

Even as conditions stabilise, cost pressures remain real. For many SMEs, margins are tighter than they were five years ago.The instinctive response in such conditions is...
