Dispute resolution
Disputes are resolved through discussion and the investigation and presentation of relevant evidence. If this process failed to resolve a dispute the business would be prepared to submit to the decision of an agreed independent arbitrator, but this has not occurred during the reporting period.
Other information
1.4% of invoices were paid outside of the maximum standard payment terms of 60 days. This represents 2 invoices out of 142 during the reporting period. One invoice was late as it was received after the due date, approved immediately upon receipt, and paid the following day. For the other invoice, there was a dispute that delayed payment. The goods were not fully delivered, as three items from the order were missing in transit. As a result, the business could not complete the goods receipt until the missing items were replaced and received. This delayed the Goods Receipt approval and subsequent payment.

What a 24-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 24-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).
