While the reduction in sample size from 96 to 90 may influence the comparability, the overall trend indicates a modest enhancement in payment behaviours across the studied businesses; however, with an increase of only 2.1 points, the shift is small, suggesting that there remains significant room for improvement in payment efficiency across Wales. Businesses experiencing late payments can use a late payment calculator to understand their potential financial recourse.
Welsh companies' payment practices improved slightly, with the average score increasing from 63.9 (out of 100) across 96 companies in 2023 to 66.1 (out of 100) across 90 companies in 2024.
