Recent events in Iran and the broader Middle East have disrupted oil production and supply, leading almost immediately to a rise in global fuel prices. As tensions escalate oil exports from the region are being interrupted, causing shortages and driving up costs.

For small businesses in the UK, these increased fuel prices can significantly impact operational expenses. A viable solution to manage this financial strain is through refinancing existing assets. By taking out a refinance agreement, businesses can access much-needed cash to cover rising costs, maintain cash flow, and build financial resilience during this period of uncertainty.
