View payment information for UK Public Limited Companies

The Payment League Tables are a joint venture between The Institute of Credit Management, The Credit Management Research Centre and CreditScorer Ltd.

The CMRC collects information on the average number of days it takes UK PLC's to pay their invoices. The payment data is updated throughout the year, as soon as each company files a new set of full accounts with Companies House. This website enables you to find the number of payment days by company name, as well as within an industry sector.

Can I find payment information for every UK PLC?
All UK PLC's are required by law to state their payment days within their annual accounts. This list attempts to display all UK PLC's with their respective payment time. Where companies are found to not report this is also indicated.
