Standard payment terms

Subcontract Ledger: Standard payment terms are set during the negotiation phase and written into the subcontract terms and conditions. Standard terms of 31 days are agreed with most subcontractors. Certain trades can often have shorter terms particularly where the labour content is high. As such terms can often range between 14-31 days. The time taken for the BACS payment to be received by the subcontractor is factored into the payment due date. Funds are available on the due date. Purchase Ledger: Standard payment terms are payment to the supplier by the end of month following the month of invoice. This can result in a payment period of between 28-63 days. Payment is sent by BACS. Funds are available on the due date.

Dispute resolution

Subcontract Ledger: Disputes involving subcontractors are referred to the project's Quantity Surveyor, who will resolve them as promptly as possible. If the subcontractor wishes to escalate the issue, they may contact the Commercial Director or Finance Director for further discussion. Notes can be recorded in the finance system to track disputes and provide a clear audit trail. Once resolved, payment will be included in the next available weekly payment run or sooner if necessary. Purchase Ledger: Invoices are recorded in the accounts system and visible to the accounts team as outstanding. Notes can be added to invoices within the system to highlight unresolved issues quickly. The Finance Manager monitors unapproved invoices and reports on outstanding items. Once resolved, payment will

Working-capital effect

What a 37-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 37-day vs a 14-day payment cycle.

≈ £14,500

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 37-day cycle — about £9,100 more than the same account would carry at 14-day terms.

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?

UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.

What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?

The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.

How often is this data updated?

Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.

Is this official government data?

The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
