Safety And Security Payment Trends: 2024 vs 2025

25 December 2025•By Alastair Campbell, Founder•Reports

Safety & Security Firms See Slight Dip in Payment Performance: 2024 Score of 71.3 Drops to 69.5 in 2025

The Comparison

Here's a direct comparison of payment practices in the Safety and Security sector, comparing 2024 and 2025 based on a scoring system out of 100:

  • 2024: 47 companies were assessed, achieving an average payment performance score of 71.3.
  • 2025: 42 companies were assessed, resulting in an average payment performance score of 69.5.

What This Means

The observed decline of 1.8 points suggests a marginal degradation in payment practices within the Safety and Security sector. Fewer companies were surveyed, so it is difficult to say if this represents the sector at large. This indicates some pressure on firms' ability to pay on time, or changes in their payment processing.

The information provided in this article is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial or legal advice. To help track late payments, use our late payment calculator.

Summary: The average payment performance score in the Safety and Security sector decreased from 71.3 (out of 100) in 2024 to 69.5 in 2025.
