The CFO’s 2026 Survival Guide
Mastering Liquidity: How Swiss B2B Firms are Managing "Insolvency Risk" in 2026
Despite Switzerland’s economic stability, 2026 has brought a new challenge: a tightening of liquidity across European supply chains. With 55% of Swiss businesses anticipating an increase in B2B customer insolvency this year, the role of the CFO is shifting from "bean counter" to "risk strategist."
🛡️ 3 Pillars of B2B Financial Stability
AI-Driven Credit Scoring: Traditional credit checks are too slow for 2026. Top Swiss firms are now using "Predictive Lead Scoring" to analyse real-time payment behaviours before signing long-term contracts.
Invoice Financing (Factoring): To bridge the gap caused by the "60-day payment" trend, Swiss B2B companies are increasingly selling their invoices to financial partners to unlock immediate cash flow.
ESG as a B2B Requirement: Sustainability is no longer a PR move. In 2026, many Swiss "Big Players" (like Roche or Nestlé) will only sign B2B contracts with vendors who can prove their carbon footprint via digital sustainability audits.
📉 The Cost of "Manual" Errors
In a high-wage country like Switzerland, manual invoicing is a profit-killer. Automating the "Order-to-Cash" cycle isn't just about saving time; it's about eliminating the human error that leads to 7% of B2B invoices becoming "bad debt."
