Unilever is asking its roster shops to accept less profitability up front and is scrutinising the hourly rates that it pays its agencies as part of a number of new changes brought in to help the company get through the recession.

It is also set to extend the time that it takes to pay its bills, although this is thought to be open to negotiation.
