Maximum contractual payment information

Maximum contractual terms for payments in this period are 60 days following the month end of the invoice date, which gives a maximum payment period of 91 days. There are 7,471 invoices with a value of £16,691,474.40 due for payment in this period with these terms.

Reported terms and dispute process
  1. Standard payment terms

    As standard, Nisbets Limited pay its suppliers and distributors no later than 60 days from the end of the month of the date of the invoice received. Variations to the standard payment terms are negotiated with certain suppliers by exception and are agreed by both parties.

  2. Dispute resolution process

    Nisbets Limited have a dedicated Purchase Ledger team with specific accounts allocated to individuals in that team, allowing suppliers a direct, named, point of contact. In the event of disputed charges, our policy is to investigate the invoice in question, such as inspecting Goods Received Notes depending on its nature, and communicate directly with the supplier to ensure timely resolution.

    Dependent on the specific contract terms, we would potentially withhold payment on the disputed portion of the invoice, or raise a debit note for those items until the query is resolved.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.

Charity Commission links

Snapshot 29 September 2026

No exact company-number link in this snapshot

The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.

i

This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
