What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are 30 days from date of invoice. The majority of our supply chain are on these payment terms. However we also have suppliers that are on payment terms that differ from this. eg: 7 days from date of invoice, 14 days from date of invoice, 60 days from date of invoice and 90 days from date of invoice. The shorter payment terms have been negotiated to this by the supplier in question. The 90 day payment terms is a unique case for one supplier that is based in Germany and the transit of stock to ourselves takes time.
Dispute resolution
We have a formal dispute process with our key suppliers (covering c80%) of the spend. All other suppliers where we have a dispute we will raise with the supplier and work together to resolve in a timely manner. If any payment is witheld we make this clear as part of the dispute process. Overall zen has three key values, one of which is "happy suppliers" where we take great pride in paying our suppliers on time and supporting when necessary where we can.

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).
