Credit Payment Period Wizard
The Creditor Payment Period measures the average time it takes you to pay your creditors. The Creditor Payment Period is a 'performance ratio', which means that it indicates the efficiency of a business. Efficiency and performance are linked, as efficient businesses are usually more profitable.
This ratio gives you one insight into your business. To determine the full financial performance of your business, you will also need to analyse your financial statements and calculate the other financial ratios.
