First, stabilise

Losing a dominant customer hits cash and morale at once. The immediate task is to steady the ship — protect cash flow and keep the capability you'll need to win replacement work.

Buy time to rebuild

A working-capital facility stabilises cash while you cut sensible cost and drive new business. Rework your cash-flow forecast without the lost revenue to see the real position.

Never be this exposed again

Rebuild toward a broader customer base so no single loss ever threatens the business again. Diversified revenue is the lesson every over-concentration teaches the hard way.

Frequently asked questions

How do I recover from losing my biggest customer?

Stabilise cash first with a facility, cut sensible cost, and fund a focused push to replace the revenue. Then rebuild toward a broader base so no single loss threatens you again.

How do I stop one customer being too big to lose?

Use every customer's income to win others, so revenue is spread. Concentration feels efficient until the big account leaves — a diversified base is the real protection.
