Time to first published rating

139 days median · 212 days average
across 373 newly listed businesses since 2022

Rank 323 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.
