In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

The business enters into two types of contracts: • Contracts on behalf of the firm which includes all costs relating to the running of the business; and • Contracts on behalf of the client, where the costs are then recharged to the client as disbursements. In relation to the firm's costs, the business' standard payment terms are 30 days from the invoice date. If an invoice is disputed, the head of the Business Group will take steps to resolve the issue before the invoice is authorised for payment. If contracts are disputed then the standard terms are likely to be exceeded. Disbursements are usually paid once the money is received from the client. Where the contract relates to a conditional fee agreement matter then enhanced terms will have been agreed with the supplier and the pay

Dispute resolution

Initial queries are dealt with by the purchase ledger department. This department will liaise with the invoice approver to ascertain any extenuating circumstances. Failing this any disputes will be raised with our Finance Director.

Working-capital effect

What a 21-day cycle ties up

Illustrative. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 21-day vs a 0-day payment cycle.

≈ £8,500
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 21-day cycle — about £8,300 more than the same account would carry at 0-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).
