Standard payment terms

Our standard payment terms are 42 days unless suppliers payment terms are applied which can be longer or shorter than standard.

Dispute resolution

Invoices are matched to PO's on receipt by our Accounts Payable Team. Any invoice variances are sent to the buyer for approval. If the buyer disputes the invoice, the Accounts Payable Team e-mail the supplier with a credit request or a request for proof of delivery typically within 48 hours. Once full credit or proof of delivery has been received, the invoice and any credits are processed ready for payment. If in the meantime the invoice has become due for payment, the invoice is added to the next bacs run (weekly). If the Accounts Payable Team are unable to resolve a dispute or query, the dispute is escalated to the Group Financial Controller for resolution. Invoices not paid within 3 months of due date, are assumed to be as a result of a substantial dispute Wing Yip

Working-capital effect

What a 26-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 26-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.

≈ £10,000
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 26-day cycle — about £9,900 more than the same account would carry at 1-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).
