While the average PaymentCheck score for the sector is a respectable 75.5/100, a substantial 25.5 points above the UK average, the difference between the best and worst performers is massive, signalling significant inconsistency. The presence of major players like Virgin Active and David Lloyd near the bottom suggests late payments aren't just a small business problem in this sector, and if you're experiencing late payments, use our late payment calculator to calculate interest.
The North West, with PERSHING LIMITED's almost-perfect score of 99.6, skews the regional average upwards, but the North East stands out as the worst region with Bannatyne Fitness's low score of 43.6. London companies also cluster around a respectable, but less impressive, average of 81.9. The South East lags behind with a score of 49.3.
Ultimately, while the Physical Health sector overall pays suppliers better than average, a closer look reveals some significant problems; Bannatyne Fitness's PaymentCheck Score is 56 percentage points behind sector leader, PERSHING LIMITED.
