In the relentless whirlwind of the UK business landscape, an alarming 40% of companies are ensnared in the time-consuming management of late payments, losing up to nine full working days annually. This drain on resources, mirroring an employee’s annual leave, is a critical issue that transcends the UK, with American SMEs facing a daunting average of 700 hours a year on the same endeavor. This silent epidemic cripple the potential for growth and innovation, with a staggering 87% of businesses wrestling with delayed payments and the average enterprise owed £38,000 - a precarious edge for many towards insolvency.

The financial drain is momentous, costing the UK economy a colossal £2.16 billion in debt chasing alone, and casting a long shadow over the mental well-being and personal lives of business owners. With 12% of businesses employing dedicated staff for this taxing role, the emotional toll is stark, preventing nearly a quarter of entrepreneurs from taking a deserved holiday and impacting the personal relationships of nearly half.

But there is hope on the horizon.
