While there was movement towards better payment practices in the creative sector, the shift, represented by a 1.3-point increase, is statistically quite small. The reduced sample size in 2021 (45 companies vs 63 in 2020) may influence the results, potentially skewing the average due to the smaller pool of data. Businesses experiencing payment delays can use a late payment calculator to assess the impact.
In 2021, the creative sector saw an average payment score of 65.0/100 compared to 63.7/100 in 2020.
