What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Most of the suppliers are on a 30-day payment term. Key suppliers are on direct debit schemes and collect their payment within 30 days or less from the date of the invoice. Suppliers that are not on direct debit scheme are paid monthly by BACS/bank transfer on request. A small number of suppliers require payment in advance, these are settled either by direct bank transfer or via credit card payments. Suppliers are notified of any delays at the earliest opportunity and the payments are re-arranged as agreed with them. The company actively encourages suppliers to send invoices electronically where possible. It also uses a supply chain finance established by their franchisor. Payment for suppliers who participated in the supply chain finance are collected via direct debits and this process
Dispute resolution
As over 90% of invoices are paid by direct debit there would be no dispute which would hold up the payment, any disputed amount would be credited or debited the following month. A minute number of invoices from the other 10%, or less, may occasionally be subject to a dispute which is usually resolved over a phone call due to the long-standing relationships.

What a 17-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 17-day vs a 1-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).
