In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Payment terms cover a variety of different payment terms, subject to the nature of the contract and the invoice. Typical payment terms can include: 7 Days 14 Days 30 Days 60 Days 20th day of the following month 30 Days from end of month
Dispute resolution
Invoices are matched by a dedicated Accounts Payable team on receipt, and disputed invoices are notified to the supplier. Any disputes are managed directly with the supplier and investigated to resolve them in a timely manner. Disputes may arise due to, but not limited to, the following circumstances: • Non-receipt of invoice • Non-receipt of goods • Delivered product/service does not agree to invoice • Incomplete or incorrect information • Incorrect address or company name • VAT requirements • Change of details (i.e. new bank account)
Other information
Intercompany invoices and performance have been excluded from reported statistics as these entirely relate to transactions between wholly owned group companies, and would distort performance if included.

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).
