In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Invoices are payable within 30 days from receipt of a correct invoice referencing a valid purchase order which includes a purchase order number issued by the Company. If amendments to the invoice are required, the 30- day payment period will commence from the date of receipt of the corrected invoice. The longest standard payment period is 30 days. The maximum contractual payment period agreed during the reporting period was 30 days.

Dispute resolution

If the Company disputes an item invoiced, the Company will, within 30 days from receipt of the invoice, notify the supplier of the item in dispute, specifying the reason therefore. The payment of any undisputed balance will be effected within the standard 30-day payment period. The Company will endeavour to settle any dispute with the supplier at the earliest possible date and any agreed adjustment will be made as promptly as possible following the date of such settlement. If the Company and supplier are unable to resolve the matter within 30 days, the dispute will be resolved by reference to arbitration (or courts if specified in the contract).

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).
