What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Kober Limited ('Kober')’s standard contractual payment terms state that Kober will pay each correct invoice on its next weekly payment run following 45 days after the later of receipt of goods and receipt of invoice (for the majority of Kober’s goods for resale suppliers), on its next weekly payment run following 60 days after receipt of invoice (for goods not for resale suppliers) or 30 days (cash in bank) after receipt of invoice for small suppliers. In certain specific circumstances, Kober may agree to shorter and longer payment terms with its suppliers as part of an overall commercial agreement
Dispute resolution
If a Kober supplier raises a query in respect of an outstanding invoice, payment or deduction, in the first instance it is handled by the Accounts Payable team through a clear query process. If necessary the Accounts Payable team will refer to other business areas within Kober to resolve the enquiry. If the matter remains unresolved within the target turnaround time it is escalated to senior leadership.
Other information
Under Kober’s standard contractual terms, Kober may set off monies payable to a supplier against any monies owed to Kober (and in some cases, any group company) by that supplier.

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 36-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.
Late Payment Act. The Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
