📅 71 Days?! That’s How Long Small UK Businesses Wait to Get Paid.
According to research by FastPay, small businesses with a turnover under £1 million are waiting an average of 71 days to get paid – compared to just 38 days for the biggest firms.
That's two months of chasing, cash flow stress, and delayed growth.
At N S Accounts & Business, we say: enough is enough.
We help our clients:
✅ Stay on top of who owes what
✅ Send automated reminders (so you don’t have to)
✅ Keep your books tidy and your cash flowing
✅ Use smart tools like Xero to reduce debtor days
Late payments might be common – but they don’t have to be your normal.
