The read · computed from their figures
Fostering Solutions Limited's H1 2025 filing put their average at 25 days against stated terms of 30 days; 23% of invoices were paid outside agreed terms and 5% took 61 days or longer. Filed 24 Mar 2025.
The direction is slower: from 18 days in H1 2019 to 25 now — 7 days slower across their last 6 reports.
That is 8 statutory periods on record (earliest H1 2018) — a historical record, not a promise for a new invoice.
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
30 days from date of invoice as standard. However, shorter payment terms than the standard are offered for certain types of services supplied. Note that there is a minimum allowance of 14 days from receipt of the invoice as acceptable processing time to get the invoice approved, posted and paid.
Dispute resolution
First contact is a dedicated accounts payable section of a shared service centre (SSC) that offers suppliers support through to query resolution. Suppliers can contact the SSC on a dedicated telephone number or email address. They will then identify the person within the business who will be able to resolve the problem and then the SSC contacts the supplier to discuss the resolution.

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).
