Every large UK company must disclose how it pays its suppliers. Almost nobody reads it as a trend.
We structure the statutory Duty to Report on Payment Practices and Performance filings into league tables and time series — turning a twice-yearly compliance disclosure into an early-warning signal for supplier and counterparty risk.
The data is free. The pattern in it isn't visible to anyone.
Large UK companies — above roughly £54m turnover, £27m balance sheet, or 250 staff — are legally required to publish how they pay suppliers, twice a year, or their directors carry criminal liability. Until now, that liability has been theoretical: the government confirmed in March 2026 that the body responsible for enforcement has never had the power to check compliance or issue fines. The filings are public. The government's own checker shows you one company's most recent snapshot. Nobody structures the history.
Trend, not snapshot
A single filing tells you almost nothing. Six years of filings tell you whether a counterparty's payment behaviour is stable, improving, or quietly deteriorating — often years before it shows up anywhere else.
Statutory, not opt-in
This is a mandated disclosure covering every qualifying company, not a voluntary trade-data-sharing network with participation gaps. What's filed is what the company itself told the government.
Compliance itself is a signal
Some companies stop filing altogether. A lapsed filing history, cross-checked properly, is its own early warning — separate from what the filings themselves say.
Every figure, ranked against the whole country — and against its own industry.
A number in isolation doesn't tell you much. 45 days sounds fine until you know the national median is 32. We rank every company two ways: against all reporting companies nationally, and against others in the same industry, using Companies House's own official SIC classifications. Below a minimum sample size, we say so rather than quote a percentile from a handful of companies.
This is early. We want to know if it's useful before we build further.
We're validating demand, not selling a finished product. Tell us who you are and we'll get in touch to show you what the full dataset looks like for the companies you actually care about.
