Standard payment terms
It is part of the culture of the Company that non-vehicle suppliers are paid within 30-60 days. All vehicle suppliers are paid within 2-3 working days of the due date as per standard manufacturers terms. The overwhelming supply is from motor manufacturers. Swansway deals on those manufacturers standard terms which require payment by DD withdrawn from our account within 2-3 working days of invoice date in the vast majority of cases. Other manufacturers supply payments are required within 2-3 days of vehicle registration date on the sale. Otherwise our standard trading terms are 30 days of the month end.
