What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The company enters into a range of agreements for the activities it undertakes, typically relying on the standard terms of the Google group. Standard terms include the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions and the Google Inbound Services Agreement. The terms state that the company will pay undisputed invoices within 60 days of receipt. For more information, and to view the Google Supplier Purchase Order Terms and Conditions in full, please visit https://www.google.com/corporate/suppliers. The company’s billing systems, which record and administer invoices, do not contain information about contract type. As such, while the majority of invoices in the system are expected to relate to qualifying contracts, the system is unable to distinguish qualifying contracts from non-q
Dispute resolution
Google will only initiate invoice disputes in good faith, and will provide a written description of the disputed amount. Upon Google’s request, Contractor will issue separate invoices for undisputed and disputed amounts. Payment of undisputed amounts will not compromise Google’s right to object to the disputed amounts. Disputed amounts will not be due until the dispute is finally resolved.

What a 35-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 35-day vs a 30-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 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).
