Whilst SMEs will not need to report, it is hoped that payment terms they receive from large companies will improve due to the ‘naming and shaming’!
Where an SME has one or more large companies as clients, it could also use the information to be forewarned of payment practices. At the very least, the information might allow an SME to forecast its cash flow more accurately.
