How Ocado Central Services Limited compares
Ocado Central Services Limited takes an average of 26 days to pay its suppliers, which is 6 days faster than the UK median of 32 days across 9,336 reporting companies. 19% of their invoices fall outside the agreed payment terms, compared to a national average of 24%.
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.
