Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The most common supplier payment terms are:
• Net 30 – All vendors
• Immediate – Vendors
The maximum payment period agreed to in January to June 2026 is 30 days.
Payment terms depends largely on agreements with respective suppliers. Should the agreement be silent, the default payment term of 30 applies.
There have been no changes to standard payment terms in the reporting period. - Dispute resolution process
The business contact is responsible for confirming that the good / service delivered is of the required quality before payment is actioned.
Invoice disputes are addressed with the suppliers directly by the business contact. Invoices under dispute can be processed within Oracle ebusiness suite and placed on hold. Approval and payment may take some time as dependent on the resolution of the dispute.
Suppliers can contact the Global Accounts Payable team via its group mailbox accounts.payable@ft.com. An Accounts Payable Analyst would be available to answer supplier queries 22 x 5.
The Global Accounts Payable team ensures that authorizers are regularly chased to approve invoices in their approval queues and any long outstanding invoices not approved within reasonable timeframes will be queried, thereby, identifying any disputed invoice.
We recommend suppliers to send their invoices directly to email address accounts.payable@ft.com to be lodged within our Oracle system and to commence tracking through to settlement

This is a company-submitted statutory disclosure, not a credit rating. BritDB preserves the reporting period and links the report only through the Companies House number supplied by the official service. Percentages describe payments made during that period and may change in later reports.

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.
05 Charity register
Charity Commission links
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.
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.
06 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
07 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
08 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
09 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
