What can I do if a supplier pays me late?

If a company pays you late, you have the legal right to charge statutory interest at 8% plus the Bank of England base rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act 1998. You can also claim fixed compensation of £40 to £100 per invoice. PennyFetch can calculate exactly what you are owed and send reminders automatically.

How Aramark Limited compares

Aramark Limited takes an average of 38 days to pay its suppliers, which is 6 days slower than the UK median of 32 days across 9,336 reporting companies. 99% of their invoices fall outside the agreed payment terms, compared to a national average of 24%. Their payment speed has been improving over time based on historical filings.

The “outside agreed terms” percentage measures how often the company pays after its own agreed payment terms, not against a fixed 30-day standard. A company with long payment terms can still be rated “Good payer” if it consistently meets those terms.
