What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Bestway agree standard payment terms that vary between 7 and 45 days depending on size of supplier and products they sell. Most suppliers are currently paid on weekly payment runs.
Dispute resolution
Invoices in dispute go on hold, and are discussed between the Accounts Department, Trading and the Supplier. Once resolved, the invoice will go forward for payment in accordance with its normal payment terms. If resolved after the payment due date, the invoice is paid on the supplier’s next payment run.

What a 61-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 61-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 lets a supplier charge statutory interest and fixed compensation on invoices paid past agreed terms. Work out what a late invoice is worth → Whether it applies depends on your contract — check with an adviser.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
