Bad debts, late payments and commercial disputes – have your say!

Today we launched our latest snapshot survey to help gauge how SMEs are dealing with the problem of commercial disputes, late payments and bad debts. 

We are keen to quantify how the landscape has changed for smaller businesses since our last survey 18 months ago. You can read the results of the 2019 survey here. 

For the 2021 edition of the survey, we have joined forces with Escalate partner firm and online funding marketplace Capitalise. 

We would be grateful if you could spend a few minutes completing the survey, which should take no more than a few minutes:

The survey is anonymous, though we ask you to identify your location and sector so that we can analyse the data by region and industry. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you want to discuss any of the issues raised in this survey with us.

If your business has been impacted by late payments, our short must-read guide and ‘avoid the write-off trap’ late payment guide (both published in 2020) can help – they’re some of our most popular blog posts.
