Never syrupy
Flora Food Group and Xolv go way back together. The spin-off from Unilever continued as Upfield Group B.V. years ago and recently changed its name to Flora Food Group B.V. That name change is an important step in the company's evolution. The new name reflects the goal of providing future generations with delicious, natural and nutritious food that is more affordable and sustainable than its dairy equivalents. Think butter and spreads, creams, liquids and cheese. So that there is an attractive choice for everyone!

The market for SME business finance in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025: a look back and forward
The Dutch economy is in a phase of cautious growth, but global uncertainty casts a shadow over the outlook for 2025. This also has an impact on the SME business finance market. Although banks still play a dominant role with traditional bank lending, alternative forms of financing are gaining ground. Entrepreneurs are increasingly looking at alternatives. Crowdfunding, factoring, leasing and direct lending are becoming increasingly popular, especially for loans under EUR 1 million.
The importance of good general terms and conditions for your business
Imagine this: you regularly supply products to a regular business customer and have clear agreements on delivery and payment. One day, however, payment remains outstanding. Without specific agreements on collection costs or default interest in your agreement, you are weak. You end up paying the collection costs yourself, even though you still haven't been paid. This kind of situation can have a significant impact on your cash flow and even the continuity of your business. With well-drafted general terms and conditions, you could have protected yourself and acted faster to solve problems.
The year 2025 will certainly not be boring!
The end of 2024 was dominated by the US elections. It seemed exciting, but Donald Trump won decisively. And before the inauguration, he is already making himself heard on a daily basis. Mexico, Canada and, of course, China can again reckon with import tariffs and trade restrictions. Europe, too, will not escape the dance. The war between Russia and Ukraine will be resolved within a day, while the conflict in the Middle East can count on a hardening. Some Eastern European countries are tending to move more and more towards Russia and there is now turmoil in Asia too. In South Korea and remains a guess as to how long China will leave Taiwan alone.

The company serves around one million business and private customers annually, as they specialise in tyres, MOT, maintenance, exhausts, brakes, windscreen repair and replacement and air conditioning. But that doesn't mean they don't explore new markets. Quite the contrary! In 2022, KwikFit introduced an e-bike service. Always on the move, in other words!
