Event & Venue Payment Practices Improve by 13.2 Points Since 2020
The Comparison: 2020 vs 2025

- 2025: A similar analysis of 115 companies shows an average payment practices score of 71.4 out of 100, reflecting demonstrable, sector-wide advancement.
What This Means
The rise from 58.2 to 71.4 suggests a positive trend in payment discipline, potentially spurred by external pressures like rising inflation and supply chain challenges highlighting the importance of cashflow management. However, the progress must be seen in context; with a best possible score of 100, the sector average remains a considerable distance from optimal payment performance. Companies struggling with cashflow can use a late payment calculator to assess the impact of delayed payments.
