Dechra Limited pays its invoices on average within 43 days. Due to our payment terms being based on number of days FROM invoice date and our payment cycle being twice a month we make payments late to these terms. However our supplier base is happy with our payment processes. We are currently reviewing our standard terms so they better reflect our payment practices.
