In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Lindsell Train’s (“LTL”) standard payment terms are to pay correctly issued and valid invoices from suppliers we deal with within thirty calendar days from the date of receipt unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing between the supplier and LTL. If there is an agreed payment terms over 30 day period, the maximum contractual payment period shall be no more than 60 calendar days. To ensure prompt payment, supplier invoices should be emailed to [email protected]. All invoice related queries should be addressed to [email protected]

Dispute resolution

LTL aims to resolve queries and disputes on a timely basis. If any amount of the invoice received by LTL is disputed, LTL shall inform the supplier of the grounds for such dispute within fourteen calendar days following the receipt of the service rendered or goods delivered. The supplier can escalate the dispute by emailing [email protected] with a copy of invoice and correspondence to date in respect of the dispute and providing an outline of the issues. The finance department will escalate the information to facilitate a resolution where possible. LTL shall not pay the disputed invoice until resolution. If a dispute cannot be resolved after communications with the supplier, legal advice will be sought.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?
UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.
How often is this data updated?
Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.
Is this official government data?
The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
