The national average across all sectors was higher at 20.75 says above terms dragged upwards by bad performances in the property and postal sectors and the slowest payers remained firms with 500 plus employees
In terms of regionally the South East had the biggest improvement year-on-year improving the speed with which bills are settled.
Joe Myers, head of commercial credit at Experian, said that companies understood that payment times did impact credit ratings.
"For smaller businesses it has far greater significance and this is reflected in their payment performance. The continued availability of credit from their key suppliers is even more critical to them," he said.
