Standard payment terms
The largest category of supply by value relates to vehicle stock, the terms of which are dictated by the manufacturer who typically require payment by direct debit within 2-3 working days of the invoice date. Other supplier invoices are paid at the end of the month following the invoice date, which results in a standard payment period of between 30 and 60 days. Ad hoc payments are also made throughout the month as required.
