Recent research by Upflow has uncovered some alarming figures about unpaid invoices, highlighting a growing issue across various sectors. According to the report, over half of outstanding invoices (57%) are late, with a concerning third (33%) taking more than 90 days to be settled. These statistics reveal a significant challenge for businesses, large and small, who rely on timely payments to manage their cash flow and maintain operations.
Across different industries, the research indicates that a staggering 33% of overdue invoices remain unpaid even 90 days past their due date. For many businesses, this can lead to cash flow problems, operational delays, and ultimately, a negative impact on growth. Business credit control and debt collection has never been more essential, as companies find themselves increasingly vulnerable to the effects of late payments.
Some industries are facing more significant challenges with late payments than others. According to the research, the top five sectors struggling with overdue invoices are:
Other sectors facing significant delays include Human Resources (61%) and Cloud, Network and IT Infrastructure (59%). These industries are all critical to the smooth running of businesses, and the knock-on effects of late payments are becoming more apparent.
The growing number of unpaid invoices can cause severe cash flow problems, especially when a third of invoices remain unpaid for more than 90 days.
