In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Xaar’s standard terms are 60 days following the end of the month. https://www.xaar.com/media/2346/xaar-terms-and-conditions-of-purchase-v7-oct20.pdf. However there are agreements with many suppliers where the terms differ from Xaar’s standard terms, and are in most cases shorter.
Dispute resolution
Xaar is committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with our suppliers and seeks to resolve invoice queries/disputes with suppliers as quickly as possible. The majority of Xaar’s supplier relationships are covered by our standard terms and conditions. The dispute resolution process in these cases will be as stated below. Most invoices are issued against a Xaar purchase order. Queries for these invoices are passed by Accounts Payable to the Purchasing department, which is responsible for raising Purchase Orders with suppliers, for investigation and resolution. For any non-purchase order invoices, Accounts Payable will either raise queries with suppliers directly or will work in collaboration with the internal invoice owner in order to resolve with the supplier.

What a 55-day cycle ties up
Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 55-day vs a 0-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 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
