Quote of the week
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.”
SLOW PAYERS
Running a small business can be challenging, but is made much more so by large organisations who don’t pay their bills.
Our current holder of the slow payer award goes to Nottingham City Council who were invoiced for £106.49 on August 12 2009 and sent their cheque on July 27 2010. Why?
And the quickest were South Somerset Council, who paid in four days. Quite a difference!
