Standard payment terms
For 3rd party suppliers the preferred standard payment terms are 120 days but range from immediate payment to 150 days for goods being delivered from abroad
Dispute resolution
All invoices are sent to the Accounts Payable Team operated by a Shared Service Center, where they are recorded in the Accounts Payable Ledger. The Accounts Payable team is contactable by phone and by email. Vendors with invoice queries need to contact the Accounts Payable team in the first instance and they will work to resolve the query. If the Accounts Payable team are not able to resolve or if it is not clear from the system why the invoice has not been approved for payment, the Accounts Payable team will reach out to the invoice contact or Purchase Order Originator for assistance. If resolution is still not possible then the standard process is to be followed per the UK Terms & Conditions (for Goods and Services). Coty has also launched its e-invoicing facility Tradeshift allo

What a 75-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 75-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
