In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
The standard payment terms Ridge and Partners LLP apply to Sub-Consultants services are 45 days from receipt of a properly prepared and submitted invoice. For all other types supplier, we use the payment terms provided by supplier. If no terms are agreed, we default to 30 days from the receipt of a properly prepared and submitted invoice. The maximum contractual payment period in the reporting period is 60 payment terms, agreed with certain Sub-Consultants. Any changes to standard terms are notified to the supplier in a letter of instruction.
Dispute resolution
A Purchase Order is raised for the supply of goods and services, which indicates where invoices should be sent. Properly prepared and submitted invoices are logged onto the Purchase Ledger within 24 hours of receipt. If the invoice is not properly prepared the supplier is advised of what needs to be done to correct the invoice before resubmission. Should a dispute arise the supplier should contact the Ridge Purchase Ledger Team by telephone or email and provide details of their concerns. If the Purchase Ledger Team cannot resolve the issues they will seek assistance from the individual within the business responsible for the ordering and approval of the goods or service supplied.

What a 14-day cycle ties up
A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 14-day vs a 5-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).
