In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
SFGB does not use standard payment terms. Instead, we try our best to adhere to the payment terms set out by the supplier, as seen on their invoice. The most frequent term we encounter is 1 to 30 days from receipt of invoice, while a smaller proportion of suppliers use 14 or 7 days.
Dispute resolution
Complaints should be sent to either the suppliers contact at Scania Finance Great Britain, or [email protected] , where their concern will be dealt with by the Accounts Assistant overseeing the Purchase Ledger. A payment missed due to an administrative error will usually be rectified and paid to the supplier within 7 days. A dispute will be passed on to the appropriate department, who will contact the supplier to resolve the issue.

What a 23-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 23-day vs a 1-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).
