What This Means

The data shows a near standstill in payment performance within the Food & Drink sector between 2024 and 2025; the marginal 0.2 point drop suggests that payment practices remained largely unchanged. While the sample size decreased slightly, the consistency in scores indicates no significant improvement or deterioration in how these companies manage their payment obligations. Businesses awaiting payment can calculate potential late payment interest and compensation using a late payment calculator.
