In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company agrees payment terms with suppliers at the commencement of trading. Standard terms used are 15/30/45/60 days End of Month (EOM). Whilst other terms might be agreed by negotiation the maximum term applied is 60 days EOM. There were no changes to these standard terms in the reporting period.
Dispute resolution
The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner. The main point of contact for disputes is Accounts Payable team. To resolve a dispute, the supplier is required to provide any missing information or a corrected invoice. If the Accounts Payable team are unable to resolve the dispute, then the issue is then escalated to a project manager / originator of the purchase order who are then responsible for resolving the issue. The Company maintains an electronic purchase invoice query log which is circulated via an automated email from the Accounts Payable team to the assigned person(s) above. The Company reports key performance metrics which capture the number of instances of items that are in query. These are reported on a weekly basis and dis

What a 65-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 65-day vs a 16-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 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).
