The Office of the Small Business Commissioner, which was set up in December 2017 to tackle late payments, has reclaimed less than £800,000 for small businesses, including those in the motorsport sector, since June 2021. It recovered £8.5m owed to small businesses, of which, £7.8m was recovered before June 2021. The Commissioner attributed the lower amount recovered to resolving larger outstanding payments in the early days of the service and smaller firms seeking help for smaller amounts.
