Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Where not otherwise agreed, the company aims to pay suppliers by the end of the month following delivery of good or service. A large proportion of the company's suppliers have agreed different payment terms, most commonly 30 days after receipt of invoice. The company makes bulk weekly payment runs, so invoices are typically paid on the payment run that is closest to the technical due date on a suppliers invoice.

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

For example, signatories to The Prompt Payment Code must commit to paying 95% of their invoices within 60 days.

About this company

Aviagen Limited is registered in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, where its Stratford Hatchery site is based. Companies House records its business as the raising of poultry. It operates within the wider Aviagen group, whose broiler breeding arm supplies day-old grandparent and parent stock chicks to customers in 130 countries under the Arbor Acres, Indian River and Ross brand names. The group undertakes poultry genetics research and breeding programmes covering welfare, biosecurity and production performance, and runs production management training for customers. Aviagen Limited functions as part of this international breeding operation, with the UK site contributing to the hatching and supply of breeding stock rather than trading as an independent retail poultry business.
