The read · computed from their figures
Farol Holdings Limited's H1 2021 filing put their average at 47 days against stated terms of 1–35 days; 6% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 27% took 61 days or longer. Filed 16 Sept 2021.
The pattern is steady — their reported average moves within about ±3 days period to period.
That is 7 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
As a machinery dealer we have a wide range of payment terms varying from 30 through to 356days, with options to extend.
Dispute resolution
Individuals approving invoices will notify both our accounts department and the supplier themselves if an invoice is in dispute. Depending on the nature of the dispute, will determine the timescale and next steps for each individual queried invoice.
Other information
The data we have provided includes invoices that have only been paid late due to us receiving these invoices late from our suppliers and in addition to this also includes invoices that are in dispute. As a business we will always try and pay to our agreed supplier payment terms, but unfortunately we only do a payment run once a week, which invariably will result some our payments to appear late, even if only by one or two days.

What a 47-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 47-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).
