Two business on three pay their suppliers and subcontractors in late France , a problem causing nearly a quarter bankruptcies of very small companies and that weighs on employment, said Thursday the National Ombudsman inter-company relations, Pierre Pelouzet. “We know that there is an impact on employment, on investment and on trust. It blocks the innovation is a brake on the economy that is being (…) to small small resume, “said Pierre Pelouzet presenting to the press the first quarterly indicator of late payment of bills of the 120 largest French companies, created with the firm Altares.
According to study , published on the occasion of the five-year inter-company mediation, two thirds of businesses pay their suppliers and subcontractors with a delay in reaching average 13 days. The statutory payment deadline is 60 days maximum from the date of issue of the invoice.
“A cascade phenomenon”
In total, the amount of potential delays in payment of 120 large companies s ‘stood at the end of April to 3.97 billion euros, the study which is based on analysis of 211 million invoices. However, “there is a cascade phenomenon: the great evil pay averages, which hurt small pay, which pay poorly very small,” said Pierre Pelouzet. In very small companies, “there are 25% of bankruptcies are linked to late payments,” he has added.
Moreover, “if everyone paid according to law, there would be about 100,000 jobs could be created in SMEs, “assured Pierre Pelouzet, based on a note of two researchers, Jean-Noel Barrot (MIT) and Julien Sauvagnat (Crest), forthcoming. According to Pierre Pelouzet, two types of behaviors are the cause of these delays, with one hand, companies with an information system “complicated,” which delays the payment of invoices, and secondly those “who knowingly make cash (money, ed) on the back of the supplier. ”
