What they tell their suppliers

Offers supply-chain finance

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Unless agreed beforehand, Vivienne Westwood Ltd’s standard payment terms for the majority of our suppliers are 30 days from receipt of the invoice.

Dispute resolution

We encourage all suppliers to send invoices to our Accounts Payable electronic inbox where our team will aim to respond in a timely manner. Vivienne Westwood Ltd advises that all invoices should contain a purchase order number which should be given to our suppliers before works have commenced. Complaints and disputes for payment should go through the same inbox whereby claims of unpaid invoices are checked within our system to verify status. If unpaid, these will be investigated and payments will be made as soon as possible.

A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 22-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.

≈ £8,500

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 22-day cycle — about £8,300 more than the same account would carry at 1-day terms.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
