Here's a snapshot of payment performance in the East of England:
Companies Assessed (2024): 408
Average Payment Score (2024): 67.6 out of 100
Companies Assessed (2025): 349
Average Payment Score (2025): 68.7 out of 100
While the average payment score improved from 67.6 to 68.7, this 1.1-point increase represents only a marginal improvement in payment practices across the region. The drop in companies assessed is also notable, potentially indicating increased business consolidation or exits. For businesses concerned about late payments and their cash flow, our late payment calculator can help in understanding the impact.
