Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Historically, Slater & Gordon (UK)’s standard payment terms have been 30 days from invoice receipt to payment, but this has varied from 7 days to 90 days on some contractual arrangements and was not explicitly defined in others. Further the terms applied depended on the nature of the Products and Services provided. In 2017 SG (UK) took the decision to transition to 45 day payment terms on new contracts and to request suppliers to extend payment terms to 45 days on contracts due for renewal, typically at contract anniversary. This is an on-going process which due to Covid impact on the business, is still underway. Whilst 45 days will be the business standard term there will be exceptions where there is commercial benefit to both parties in agreeing alternative terms.
