In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Our standard payment terms are in line with each individual supplier and therefore we aim to meet stated terms. If there is no specific payment terms stated then a standard 30-day term is applied.
Dispute resolution
Any complaint or concern is dealt with on an individual basis and in a timely manner. Any ongoing disputes that affect settlement of payment are appropriately discussed with the supplier concerned and this can make it appear that payments are made late.

What a 36-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 36-day vs a 7-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 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?
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).
