Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

First Response Finance Limited does not impose standard contractual terms on its suppliers but instead operates two payment runs per month: at the mid-month point and at month end. All invoices approved for payment at the time of a payment run are paid automatically regardless of whether the invoice is yet due for payment or not. As a result a large proportion of invoices are paid significantly ahead of their due date.

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