In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The most frequently used payment terms for qualifying contracts are 14 days from the date of invoice. However, some suppliers offer 30 days from end of the month of invoicing. In general terms, supplier payment terms adopted by Circuit are for invoices to be settled on the next weekly payment run following the period of credit agreed with the supplier. These terms range from immediate payment, to payment falling due at the end of the month following the invoice date. Consequently, when the invoice is approved by the appropriate delegated authority, it is allocated for payment accordingly.
Dispute resolution
Circuit seeks to resolve any queries and disputes on a timely basis. In respect of the supply of physical goods, goods received are inspected and receipted on site with any issues arising communicated promptly to the supplier via telephone or email. In respect of services these are evidenced as being provided when the invoice is authorised by the heads of department with any issues arising communicated promptly to the supplier via telephone or email. Any invoice that is considered to be incorrect is raised with the supplier and relevant head of department immediately. Circuit does not issue Debit Notes against any disputed invoices. Rather, the disputed invoices are placed in query and the purchase order and invoice are then queried with the supplier to resolve the matter. Once the

What a 34-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 34-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 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).
