In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
FCIM standard payment terms are 30 days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed in the contract. Some contracts have payment terms shorter than 30 days.
Dispute resolution
All invoices which are processed by FCIM are processed against an approved Purchase Order, which has been approved by an authorised signatory. If there is a dispute relating to the payment, the Purchase Order Raiser or relevant Business Contact will contact the supplier to discuss the query and payment will be made once the query is resolved. This is normally once a credit note or a revised invoice has been received.

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).
