Late payers ChristmasBusinesses across the country are presently gearing up for the year’s biggest shopping bonanza. Many will thrive but sadly many will face a nightmare before Christmas when late payers put a squeeze on the company cash flow. But just like our four-legged friends – dogs – late payers are for life, not just for Christmas!

A report carried out by the Federation of Small Businesses earlier this year found that existing policy interventions have had no major effect on tackling problems around the UK’s poor payment culture over the last five years. On average, small businesses reported that 30 per cent of payments are typically late, compared with 28 per cent in 2011. Sadly a letter to Santa asking to put a stop to late payments won’t bring you what you want, but putting measures in place to tackle the problem should yield more positive results.
