Exactly how long big businesses are taking to pay their bills could soon become public.
\\nSmall Business Minister Stuart Nash wants to introduce legislation to create the disclosure regime by the end of the year and aims to have it up and running by 2024.
\\nIt would apply to any business that makes more than $33 million a year.

\\nShe says the bigger issues for small businesses are access to capital and labour market shortages.
