Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Payment in full for invoices to be made in the month following month of invoice (average 45 days). Balcas will at worst strive for payment in full for invoices to be made in the second month following month of invoice (average 75 days). The extension out to 75 days is largely driven by payment to suppliers outside of the United Kingdom, in an attempt to match terms to suppliers with the timing of receipts from customers in the same region.

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