Standard payment terms
Brunelcare endeavours to pay all suppliers within 30 days where there is no other agreement. We have a weekly payment run in which all payments due before the next payment run are identified and processed. We try to agree to quicker payment if suppliers raise this requirement with us and we are able to achieve the faster turnaround.
