Other information
Payment runs are done weekly and monthly. Weekly runs mean that some invoices are paid a few days early whilst some will be paid a few days late. Aimia's reporting periods are not based on calendar months which means that although a monthly run is done a number of payments which are due at the calendar month end will fall just outside the reporting calendar.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
