In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Care UK offers favourable supplier payment terms of a maximum of 45 days from date of receipt of invoice, with many suppliers being on payment terms of 30 days from date of receipt of invoice or less. For many years Care UK has operated a weekly payment run each Friday. Our payment run captures all approved invoices due for payment up to the Friday. This results in a proportion of invoices being paid up to 6 days passed agreed terms. For invoices not paid within the agreed terms, around 90% of these are paid within one week (or less) of the due date. Taking this into account this reduces the ‘’invoices due but not paid within agreed terms’’ statistic to 6%. We are proud to support numerous smaller suppliers and sole traders to whom we commonly offer payment terms of between 7 and 14 days.
Dispute resolution
At Care UK we aim to resolve all queries and disputes regarding invoices and payments as quickly as possible. Disputes are directly managed by the invoice approvers with the support of a dedicated accounts payable team. The team can be contacted by email or phone Monday to Friday. The enquiries email inbox is monitored daily and is subject to a 24 hour SLA. The accounts payable team also carry out weekly chasing of unapproved or disputed invoices to assist with both paying invoices to terms and resolution of disputes.

What a 40-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 40-day vs a 7-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 UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
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).
