Standard payment terms

We do not have any standard business terms with our suppliers. These are agreed on a case by case basis. The most common terms for our suppliers of goods for retail sale are either 30 days or payment at the end of the month following invoice date. We normally require suppliers to forward a monthly statement of amounts due. For other suppliers we pay within thirty days of invoice date. Where early settlement discounts are offered by a supplier our policy is to pay within the time required to obtain the discount. A number of our suppliers directly debit our bank account with the payments they require. It is therefore their responsibility to obtain payment within their payment terms.
