Did you know that 60% of invoices are paid late? This chart from the Smart Company details average payday data for 19 countries across the globe, and clearly shows that the vast majority of customers worldwide are late with their payments. Even large firms are going past their due dates, with more than a quarter of their invoices being paid late. This can be catastrophic for small and medium-sized enterprises trying to stay afloat. And with the average time to pay at 38.97 days, and more than a quarter (27.26%) of those invoices paid beyond the agreed terms, how can businesses work to combat these troubling statistics? With 15.25% of UK invoices being paid later than 60 days, smaller companies need payment certainty. Knowing when your payments will arrive is crucial to achieving balanced cash flow.

These trends show a clear picture: the recognition of the ease of online invoicing and its benefits are far-reaching and making vast positive impacts on businesses across the world.
