What they tell their suppliers

Offers e-invoicing

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Goods not for resale – Invoices are paid weekly on 30 days payment terms, limited exceptions to the terms do exist primarily for landlords and utility companies. Goods for resale – Our payment terms are variable and are dependent on agreements with a given supplier. Payment terms average out at around 45 days, across this category of supplier. Validated and due invoices will be paid in the payment run that occurs closest to these agreement timeframes. Payment runs are processed weekly with a value date of the Friday.

Dispute resolution

Invoice queries are in the main the responsibility of the Accounts Payable team, other departments involved are Logistics who will advise the supplier of discrepancies at the point of delivery, this is likely to result in a credit or debit note being provided, the goods not for resale will be resolved by the Accounts Payable team in conjunction with the local stakeholders . In the first instance direct verbal or e-mail communication by the Accounts Payable team with the supplier’s finance function is the usual method of resolving disputes. If it is not possible to resolve by this method, the issue is escalated to the buyer, and they then take ownership of the dispute. The Company maintains an electronic purchase invoice query log; this is generated weekly and is distributed by e-mail to

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
