What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
• Payment terms are agreed between suppliers and our purchasing department upon being set up. • Approximately 50% of suppliers are on a 30-day payment term. • Payment runs are scheduled approximately every 2-3 days. As an invoice approaches its due date, it will be included on the next available payment run to ensure that we pay to terms. • Suppliers are advised to speak to the purchasing department should they want to negotiate new payment terms. • If payment terms are changed, any current invoices awaiting payment have the due dates changed in line with the new terms.
Dispute resolution
• Statements are checked daily for any overdue invoices. Copies are requested if they are not found in our system. Invoices awaiting authorising are chased up for status updates. • If a supplier calls/emails for invoice payment, these are chased up with whomever the invoice is allocated to for authorising/receipting. Managerial input may be required if there is no response. • Queried invoices are raised with suppliers at the earliest possible opportunity via email and/or telephone. • Notes are added to invoices on our system and updated with every new communication, so all staff are aware of the current status. • Invoices will remain in query until a mutual resolution has been agreed for example: a credit note raised or a breakdown of what the invoice is. • Once an overdue invoice has

What a 38-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 38-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 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).
