The number of companies assessed increased by 36 between the two years. This suggests a broader sample size for the 2021 data and potentially paints a more accurate picture of the industry as a whole.
The 0.2-point decline in the average payment score represents a negligible change between 2020 and 2021. While there was a very slight erosion in payment efficiency, the data indicates relative stability. To better understand payment challenges, you can use a late payment calculator.
