Other information
Average time taken to pay invoices increased from 66 days in the previous reporting period to 84 days. This was driven by a payment plan agreed and adhered to with a key strategic supplier to clear aged invoices, excluding this the average time taken to pay invoices would have been 54 days.

What a 84-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 84-day vs a 60-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 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).
