Late payment – easing the burden

Credit Connect UK has reported on some of the reasons behind late payment, stating that 44% of UK businesses avoid or delay paying bills due to issues with their cashflow whilst other commonly cited reasons for non-payment include receiving an incorrect invoice (21%) and corporate bureaucracy (20%).

Suppliers of goods and services are encouraged to offer a range of payment options tailored to particular customers and to communicate with customers to ascertain the reasons for non-payment.

If your business is experiencing cash flow difficulties, please contact our Business Services Team for an informal chat as to your options and how we may be able to assist you.
