What they tell their suppliers

35% of invoices in dispute

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.

≈ £17,000
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 43-day cycle — about £5,100 more than the same account would carry at 30-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).
