In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

60 days net end of month. This means we will pay at the end of the month after 60 days from the date of the invoice. For invoices that are payable on receipt we will make payments as soon as possible.

Dispute resolution

A query relating to an unpaid invoice should initially be emailed to [email protected]. The Accounts Payable (AP) team investigates the reason for non-payment of the invoice and tries to resolve the issue. Eg. an invoice may not have been received, or was incorrectly addressed. Other delays maybe due to differences between the Purchase Order (PO) approved and invoice received. If the AP team are not able to resolve the dispute, they will revert to the PO raiser and obtain the correct goods or services that were received and should be paid for. If resolution is still not reached, the AP team and PO approver will revert to the Financial Controller for a fair and timely decision. The aim of the department is to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. It should be noted tha

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
