Standard payment terms
i. The business’ standard payment terms: a. The standard contractual length of time for payment of invoices. The Company does not have standard terms, every project / client have different requirements, so the terms are agreed at the time of placing an order / sub- contract. The most frequent used payment terms are 38 days, 30 days, 14 days and zero (where paid against pre agreed payment milestones) The most common terms of payment for the contracts where invoices are paid by bank transfers have the length of time of payment of invoices of 30 days (approximately 2/3 of all such payments). However The Company uses other terms of payments, such as : -invoices payable immediately (where paid against agreed payment milestones); - subcontract self-billing certificates in 38 days. Payments made using HSBC purchase cards are either prepayments or immediate payments upon receipt of an order, usually immediately.
