Message from the President and CEO
Andrés Campos Chevallier, President and CEO of BeFra Group, shared:

“As we close the fourth quarter and full year 2025, we reflect on a year not marked by robust growth, but that highlighted the resilience of our business model, despite a year marked by macroeconomic volatility, socio-political uncertainty, and softer consumption trends across our core markets.
“Although net sales increased only slightly for both the quarter and full year, the performance of our business units continued to recover after a difficult 1Q25. JF Mexico continues to grow, BW Mexico progressively recovered from a weak start to the year, JF US delivered its first “back to growth” quarter, and BW Latam continues to deliver strong QoQ growth, validating the portability of our brand to new Latam markets.
“Profitability also recovered throughout the year, underpinned by disciplined expense management and despite extraordinary FX-related impacts to our

Small firms lost billions of pounds on unexpected contract renewals in 2020

Originally written by Anna Jordan on Small Business
Small businesses lost between £3bn and £5.75bn of vital funds in 2020 because annual contract and subscription services were renewed without their knowledge.
Auto-renewals are an issue with most (60 per cent) small businesses. The reason for this is that there seems to be a communication problem between the service providers and clients. Over a third (37 per cent) said they lost money through an auto-renewal that they weren’t aware of and 34 per cent were unaware of services being on a rolling contract when they signed up.
Business insurance is the most common type of contract to renew unintentionally, ahead of broadband/WiFi and phone contracts. Eight in ten pointed to businesses necessities like insurance, WiFi or utilities having the least flexible terms. Over three quarters (76 per cent) of small businesses have signed up for a yearly contract just so they could use the service that one time.

How to optimise cash flow with cashless payments

Originally written by Dan Matthews on Small Business
Cash flow is the lifeblood of enterprise. Plenty of small businesses go to the wall each year, despite being fundamentally strong, because without having a view of how much money they have for payroll, inventory and long-term growth it’s difficult to determine how much money is needed to safeguard their business.
Boosting cash flow, not just sales
It doesn’t matter whether your products and services are in demand if the money from sales arrives too late to pay for business-related costs. This is a balancing act that many businesses struggle to achieve.
The good news is there are several ways to control cash leaving your business, while ensuring money comes in thick and fast. They include leasing big-ticket equipment, negotiating better deals with suppliers, and creating an efficient system to crunch your numbers.
For businesses that get paid through invoices, there are strategies to speed up payment times and ensure your customers are solvent and reliable.
But what about businesses that take payment at point of sale – is there a way to ensure payments hit your bank account in good time?
