Time to first published rating

92 days median · 129 days average
across 408 newly listed businesses since 2022

Rank 253 of 362 UK authorities (1 = fastest).

Measured from a business appearing in the published FSA dataset to its first rating appearing there. Authorities publish with delays (appeal windows, batch updates), so this reflects the register's speed, not necessarily inspection speed.
