Self-reported figures from their statutory filing. How this is compiled.

Terms vs reality · their H1 2023 filing

Paid within their stated range — 30 against 1–60 days

The pattern · last 6 of 6 reports

26 → 30 days — slower across the window

The read · computed from their figures

Leasedrive Limited's H1 2023 filing put their average at 30 days against stated terms of 1–60 days; 5% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 3% took 61 days or longer. Filed 28 Apr 2023.

The direction is slower: from 26 days in H2 2019 to 30 now — 4 days slower across their last 6 reports.

That is 6 statutory periods on record (earliest H2 2019) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Standard payment terms vary depending on the type of payment and range from 1 day to 60 days from invoice date in accordance with the relevant purchase order.

Dispute resolution

We have a dedicated accounts payable team that offers support and advice to our suppliers on payment practices and query resolution. Our team work in close collaboration with other key stakeholders in the business and are available between 8.45am and 5.30pm either by telephone or email. We aim to resolve all queries received from Suppliers within 48 hours and are able to make same day payments where invoices are received late or disputes are resolved.

Other information

We are currently unable to report on the date of receipt of invoices in this report. We have reported on the date of the invoice itself, as we consider this the most justifiable alternative. All invoices are paid to term unless they are in query but will be paid immediately on resolution of query.

What a 30-day cycle ties up

A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 30-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.

≈ £12,000
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 30-day cycle — about £11,400 more than the same account would carry at 1-day terms.

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?
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).
