These suppliers will be paid as described above. However, some suppliers have different payment terms : - EDF (14days), Total (14d), water supplier for Scotland (30d) : these suppliers are paid by direct debit - Rent : depending on the contract. Always paid on due date. Mainly 1st day of each quarter (or alternatively last day of the previous quarter if the 1st day of the quarter is not a working day) - Management Fees paid to AccorHotels : 30days (paid the last day of the month) - Business rates : paid by direct debit - TA Commissions : manual payment for Booking.com performed on the 20th of each month related to previous month; direct debit for Fastcom on a weekly basis - Barclaycard: paid by direct debit round the 10th of each month
