What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Regatta Ltd has Standard payment terms of 60 days end of month. However, payment terms do vary based on they type of services/goods provided. The agreed payment terms can range from 7 days to 90 days, from invoice date. Amendments to standard supplier payment terms are authorised by a Director.
Dispute resolution
To raise a query regarding payment of invoices, the Accounts Payable Team should be contacted, where an investigation for reason of non payment is conducted. Should the query relate to a dispute regarding the supply of goods/services, pricing errors, or terms of the contract, then the supplier will be referred to discuss with the Regatta team who placed the order.

What a 40-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 40-day vs a 7-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.

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).
