What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The business' default and most commonly used standard payment terms are 30 days end of month following invoice. Payment terms for invoices relating to projects are agreed based on established performance milestones. This excludes any transactions for which credit terms are not applicable (i.e. that are paid immediately in cash or cash equivalent), such as employee expenditure for travel and subsistence.
Dispute resolution
When an invoice is disputed, the accounts payable department will inform the supplier and/or the relevant buyer of the reason for dispute. Generally, if the purchase order number is missing from the invoice, the supplier will be directly informed and required to provide the missing information. For disputes on price or quantity or other matters, the buyer will be informed and they will liaise with the supplier to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Once resolved, the accounts payable department will process the invoice for payment. The accounts payable department regularly review disputed invoices as well as their causes, and aim to resolve any underlying process issues, if they exist, to avoid these repeating in the future.
Other information
To ensure timely processing, invoices should be sent directly to the accounts payable department (via e-mail at [email protected], in pdf format), in a clear and readable format, stating the purchase order number and description of the goods/services provided, with all applicable charges and taxes.

What a 43-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 43-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 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).
