Payment practices in France

The disappointing reality of France’s modern economy and the EU’s economy as well, is the fact that it is becoming progressively more difficult to be paid on time. Companies are taking longer to pay their invoices and consequently this is having a direct negative impact on the current economic situation. This link between late payments and the damage it does to the economy causes a “domino effect”. Essentially lengthy payment delays are weakening a company’s cash flow which can ultimately spell financial disaster if not remedied quickly.

Generally speaking, payment delays decreased in 2007 whereas in 2006 it was the opposite. Customer delay of payment decreased from 1 to 2 days depending on the size of the company. The time of payment of suppliers also accelerated. TPEs (0-19) paid their suppliers under 63 days and SMEs (20-249) paid within 67 days whereas mid-sized (250-500)
