Standard payment terms
We have differing terms for each supplier, but our most common standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices for our UK suppliers are 30 days from document date and 30 or 45 days from the end of the month that the invoice is dated. We also have a large number of suppliers based abroad, where our payment terms differ from those in the UK. Our standard contractual length of time for payment of non-UK invoices range from deposit payments to 90 days from date of shipment of goods.
