What they tell their suppliers

Offers supply-chain finance

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Most of the suppliers are on a 30-day payment term. Key suppliers are on direct debit schemes and collect their payment within 30 days or less from the date of the invoice. Suppliers that are not on direct debit scheme are paid monthly by BACS/bank transfer on request. A small number of suppliers require payment in advance, these are settled either by direct bank transfer or via credit card payments. Suppliers are notified of any delays at the earliest opportunity and the payments are re-arranged as agreed with them. The company actively encourages suppliers to send invoices electronically where possible. It also uses a supply chain finance established by their franchisor. Payment for suppliers who participated in the supply chain finance are collected via direct debits and this process

Dispute resolution

As over 90% of invoices are paid by direct debit there would be no dispute which would hold up the payment, any disputed amount would be credited or debited the following month. A minute number of invoices from the other 10%, or less, may occasionally be subject to a dispute which is usually resolved over a phone call due to the long-standing relationships.

What a 11-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 11-day vs a 1-day payment cycle.

≈ £4,500

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 11-day cycle — about £3,900 more than the same account would carry at 1-day terms.

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?

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
