In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Our standard payment terms are as follows: Sharp’s shall process payment of an invoice on the first Payment Date following the expiry of the 90 days’ period commencing on the later of the receipt of a valid VAT invoice delivered in accordance with the contract or the acceptance of the goods by Sharp’s. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by the supplier. “Payment Date” means the next payment run. Payments are processed fortnightly on a Wednesday for receipt of payment on a Friday.

Dispute resolution

We believe that it is important to provide our suppliers with a fair and transparent dispute resolution process which deals with what actions they can take if and when a dispute or concern arises. Our invoice process and dispute resolution process is available to suppliers. Invoices with price and quantity discrepancies outside accepted tolerances will not be included in payment until the mismatch is resolved. All discrepancies are investigated internally by the buyers to verify if the invoice is correct or not; this is typically the person who placed the order with you. The buyer will inform you of any discrepancy, the reason for the rejection and the action required. Please ensure that your contact details are up to date and correct. These can be updated by contacting ap@sharpsbrewery.

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).
