Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

We have a wide range of terms depending the nature of supply and the relationship with our suppliers. Non-vehicle standard supplier payment terms are end of month following invoice date (e.g 15th May invoice date paid 31st July), but we work with our suppliers on this and dependant on circumstances and nature of supply may make payment at an earlier point. New vehicle supplier payments are made in line with the manufacturer stocking plan with payment typically being made within 3-5 days of registration of the vehicle or at end of stocking plan terms, whichever is the sooner.

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