What they tell their suppliers

Offers e-invoicing

In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Payment terms including any standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices and the maximum contractual payment period, any changes to standard terms, whether suppliers have been notified or consulted on these changes.

Dispute resolution

Complaints or concerns on non-payment are initially received and dealt with by the company's Finance department. Where possible simple, straight forward issues, for example administrative errors, will be resolved without the need for further escalation. Disputes involving more complex issues such as non-performance, pricing discrepancies or breach of contractual terms will be referred to the company's Commercial or Operations teams to liaise with the supplier and resolve. If required, disputes will be escalated to the company's Leadership team and/or Legal department to negotiate and resolve the issues arising.

What a 56-day cycle ties up

A worked example, not a finding. On a hypothetical £12k/month account, at a 56-day vs a 30-day payment cycle.

≈ £22,000
of invoicing outstanding at any one time on a 56-day cycle — about £10,200 more than the same account would carry at 30-day terms.

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?
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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
