Property-related Goods And Services Payment Practices: 5-Year Analysis (2020-2025)
Property Goods & Services Payment Practices Improve Marginally: 53.2 to 59.7 (2020-2025)
The Comparison
- 2020: A study of 77 property-related goods and services companies revealed an average payment practices score of 53.2 out of 100.
- 2025: A similar study, examining 68 companies in the same sector, showed a slightly elevated average score of 59.7 out of 100.
What This Means
While there's a recorded improvement of 6.6 points, this only shows a small positive shift in payment behaviours across the sector, even when calculated with a late payment calculator. The number of companies tracked also declined by nine, indicating a possible trend of consolidation or attrition within the industry, however more detailed analysis would be required to verify this.
One-line summary: A marginal improvement in payment practices, demonstrated by a change from 53.2/100 in 2020 to 59.7/100 in 2025.
