What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days end of month however we do have a range of payment terms with trade suppliers that range from due on receipt of invoice to 70 days. We also process Claims for damages to goods in transit. Payment terms for each claim is assessed individually and time to pay will range from weeks to several months depending on the complexity of the case
Dispute resolution
We initially establish if whether the invoice has been received, if not, a copy is requested. If an invoice has been received, it is then established if the invoices has been appropriately authorised and is due for payment in accordance with the Supplier payment terms. If this is the case payment is processed. If not, the reasons for none payment are investigated and the appropriate action is taken in the rare occasion that the matter cannot be resolved it is referred to the Finance Director

What a 31-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 31-day vs a 1-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 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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
