A look at payment practices in Wales, comparing 2020 and 2025:
The survey of 71 Welsh businesses in 2025 indicates a slight improvement in payment practices compared to 2020; a rise of 5.7 points can be an indicator of a positive change in the business environment. However, the reduction in the number of companies surveyed from 87 in 2020 to 71 in 2025 suggests a contraction in the sample size, potentially affecting the overall representativeness of the data. The average score of 69.3 in 2025 still suggests that there is room for improvement in prompt payment performance across businesses in Wales - use our late payment calculator to help recoup lost revenue.
