What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company operates to a 13 period year and unless otherwise agreed in writing, standard payment terms are the next payment run following 30 days from the end of the month in which an invoice is received (median average 45 days).
Dispute resolution
The majority of invoices paid outside of terms relate to invoices that have been operationally disputed. Once disputes are resolved, any payments due will be made promptly and included in the next available payment run. Loungers will try to work constructively with our partners to address issues or complaints. Issues with accounts should first be addressed to the AP Manager at [email protected], and will be escalated internally to the relevant department and contact. Response should be given within 7 days, although this may vary at busy times of the month.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
