- When an individual pays his/her credit card late then they fully expect to pay interest and perhaps also a late payment penalty
- The only reason businesses do not think like this is that they have become accustomed to a culture where there are often little or no penalties for paying beyond credit terms
- The listing of Late Payers, based on aggregated data, will hopefully be a deterrent for late paying
- OIR would not need to exist – if all businesses/entities paid on time
- A business/entity listed on OIR is only listed as a Late Payer because it has not paid an invoice or a number of invoices by their due dates, paid later than due date, or not made payment at all and has not paid their supplier invoice/s on their due date/s
