In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our payment terms are displayed on our purchase order paperwork, for all business. Our standard payment terms (unless other terms are offered by the supplier as part of their standard terms of supply, EG Prompt - IE shorter, or EG Out of season stocking offers - IE Longer) are "Monthly Account" IE End of following month following date of invoice.
Dispute resolution
All business is transacted on the basis of a formal written purchase order. Where business is initially agreed verbally a confirmation written (email or print) purchase order is supplied along with a purchase order number. In the rare instance when an invoice is received from a supplier with discrepancies from the purchase order (either in terms of pricing, or goods/services supplied), this is determined at the point of verification of the invoice versus the order, and dialogue is entered into with the supplier by the appropriate person in our business that originally placed the order. In this manner the vast majority of discrepancies are resolved prior to the due date for payment of the invoice. In the exceptional circumstances, the issue is escalated to the Managing Director to resolve

What a 46-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 46-day vs a 30-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 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).
