Are clients taking longer to pay for anyone else?
Not sure if this is just a rough patch or a wider trend, but we’ve noticed payment timing getting noticeably worse over the last few months.
Clients who used to pay pretty reliably within a couple of weeks are now drifting into 45–60 day territory. Nobody’s arguing the invoices — payment just seems to move slower than it used to.
It’s starting to make cash flow a lot harder to predict, especially when a few larger invoices all slip at the same time.
Wondering if other people are seeing the same thing lately or if we’ve just been unlucky.
