It is reported in the Independent and the Yorkshire Post that small firms are waiting six weeks longer than big businesses for invoices to be paid. Its research found the delay is placing huge pressure on small firms’ cash-flow as well as their ability to expand.

They may (perhaps) be forgiven as most don’t understand the full cost implications and hidden costs of suffering late payment.
