What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Direct debits typically have payment terms of 14 days, but are deducted directly from our account. Other suppliers are typically 28 or 30 days.
Dispute resolution
We request for the latest supplier statement from the supplier and reconcile it with our accounting system. Once resolved, we pay the invoice(s). Depending on the nature of the dispute and our relationship with the supplier, we may pay the disputed invoice before the dispute is resolved if it is past due in order to maintain our relationship. We send remittance advices to suppliers after each payment run showing invoices settled and amounts. When requested, we provide suppliers with evidence of payments made, e.g. bank statements showing outgoing funds. Disputes and complaints are normally resolved within 30 days.

What a 31-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 31-day vs a 7-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.

What is a Payment Practices Report?

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).
