In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Business standard payment terms are 60 days end of month (EOM) from the date of invoice. However, variations to these terms do exist based on agreements with certain suppliers.
Dispute resolution
The Company is committed to dealing with its suppliers in a fair, honest and professional manner while seeking best value for the business. Suppliers are required to quote purchase order numbers on all invoices. Invoices are matched to the Purchase Order and Goods Received Note (GRN) prior to posting by accounts payable. Quantities and prices are checked, and all differences relating to quantities, prices and discounts should be fully investigated prior to approving the invoice for payment. We seek to resolve queries as quickly as possible to everyone’s satisfaction prior to payment being made. Any complaints or concerns should be raised in the first instance with the Accounts Payable team, for which all suppliers have contact details. The Accounts Payable team will escalate where appl

What a 53-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 53-day vs a 1-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).
