In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Our business standard payment terms are between 30 and 60 days. All vendors are paid on a bi- weekly payment run, apart for Major Reciprocal suppliers where payment terms are aligned and payments are made at the end of the calendar month. Invoice payment cycles are weekly on Wednesday and Friday and include cleared and posted invoices up to the invoice due date. This ensures our Suppliers receive payments on time aligned with their commerical terms. Our payment cycles were updated in Janauary 2025, this coincided with implementation of a new Finance and P2P system . This change is applicable to all existing and new suppliers alike. Other standard contract terms include that suppliers of goods and services must comply with Biffa internal procure to pay policies, all relevant legisla

Dispute resolution

Our dispute resolution process has been consistent for a number of years. Suppliers will contact Accounts Payable and the originator of the order in the first instance to highlight any issues. If the delay is related to a problem in the normal approval process then this will be managed and resolved by the Accounts Payable department. If the issues are related to payment terms or credit account limits then this is escalated to and managed by the appropriate Group Procurement Category Manager who will discuss the matter directly with the supplier and agree a mutually acceptable solution to the problem. Solutions may include extending our credit line, reducing payment terms or increasing order frequency. Issues are resolved promptly.

What a 47-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 47-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.

≈ £18,500

of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 47-day cycle — about £6,700 more than the same account would carry at 30-day terms.

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?

UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.

What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?

The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.

How often is this data updated?

Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.

Is this official government data?

The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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).
