What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days from end of month of invoice date however a significant proportion of our invoices are from our motor manufacturer suppliers on which payment terms vary dependent upon the type of supply. As such a sizeable number of invoices are paid outside of our standard terms of 30 days from month end due to the specific nature of individual supplies.
Dispute resolution
Any and all invoice queries will be registered with the relevant supplier by the managing authorising the invoice or by the AP department under instruction from the appropriate manager. All invoices once received are logged on to the accounts payable system but only scanned once approved. As and when a supplier chases payment on overdue invoices the AP department follow up internally and with the supplier. If the query is due to lack of proof of delivery or back-up paperwork the AP department deal directly with the supplier to avoid a delay in payment. From the time the dispute arises the AP acts immediately and endeavours to obtain resolution so that the invoice can be included on the next payment run.

What a 26-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 26-day vs a 14-day payment cycle.
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 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
