In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Furniture Village agrees terms individually with suppliers at the outset of thetrading relationship and they do vary. Standard payment terms for stock suppliers are end of second month following. Standard payment terms for expense suppliers are end of month following.
Dispute resolution
All Suppliers are managed by designated personnel within the Accounts Payable Department and disputes in the first instance should be directed to the account owner. Escalation can be within the Finance Department or to the relevant Buyer. All stock invoices are matched to PO's and any discrepancies are directed internally initially to the relevant department for resolution. Unmatched invoices are reviewed regularly within the Finance Department. Electronic Data Interchange invoices are used where possible for stock invoices, with other stock invoices e-mailed [email protected] and expense invoices [email protected]

What a 57-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 57-day vs a 14-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 often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
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).
