In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Unless the order stipulates otherwise the Company shall pay the price of the goods at the end of the month following the month of delivery of the seller's invoice for the Goods to the Company. Therefore, the maximum payment period could be 60 days. The exception to this is for specific billing in relation to the supplies of specific materials and services, which are on the terms of 20 days.

Dispute resolution

With regard to disputes, suppliers should refer to the terms of trade and the terms and conditions of the purchase and contact the individual who placed the order for the company. If the matter is not able to be resolved, it is then referred to the Purchasing Manager.

Other information

Payments to suppliers under qualifying contracts are made once per week, clearing with that supplier each Monday or the next business day if that Monday is a bank holiday. Payments made on this day include amounts which are due up to an including that day. Therefore, if a payment is due on a date which falls on a Tuesday to Sunday, this will not be cleared with the supplier until the following Monday. This is normal practice for the company and suppliers are made aware of it.

What a 33-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 33-day vs a 20-day payment cycle.

≈ £13,000

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 33-day cycle — about £5,100 more than the same account would carry at 20-day terms.

Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
