Read these figures with care

The figures are self-reported and cover payments to small business suppliers only. We leave out averages above 365 days as likely reporting errors. Slow is not the same as late: a business with 60-day terms that pays on day 60 is slow but not late. Check the Payment Times Reports Register by ABN before you draw a conclusion about one business.
