Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Our standard payment terms are 60 days from date of invoice, with the exception of larger paper and outwork suppliers, who are predominantly on 90 days from date of invoice. However, we do have a significant amount of 'smaller' suppliers, who we endeavour to pay between 1 - 14 days, depending on the size of the account and the supplier’s cashflow needs. As you can see our published average days to pay of 47 days is within our 60 day standard terms.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

The data we have provided includes many invoices that have only been paid late, due to us receiving these invoices late from our suppliers and in addition to this it also includes invoices that are in dispute. As a business we will always try to pay to our agreed supplier payment terms, but unfortunately we only do a payment run once a week on a Friday, which invariably will result in most of our payments to appear late, even if only by one or two days.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

90

Dispute Resolution Process

Individuals approving invoices will notify both our accounts department and the supplier themselves if an invoice is in dispute. Depending on the nature of the dispute, will determine the timescale and next steps for each individual queried invoice.

Other Payment Information
