The Better Payment Practice Group was established to promote a better payment culture within the UK and urges all firms to adopt a responsible attitude to paying on time.

Companies can support the work of the Group by signing up to the Better Payment Practice Code, and agreeing to uphold the four cornerstones of prompt payment:

1. Agreeing payment terms at the outset of a deal and stick to them;
2. Explaining payment procedures to suppliers;
3. Paying bills in accordance with any contract agreed with the supplier or as required by law; and
4. Telling suppliers without delay when an invoice is contested, and settle disputes quickly.

By agreeing to these terms and singing up to the Code, businesses send a clear signal to their customers and suppliers of their commitment to good credit management and paying on time.

Signatories receive a certificate showing their commitment to the Code and their name is added alphabetically and by sector to our database. Signatories are also able to display the Better Payment Practice Group logo on their marketing material.

There is also the option of adding your contact details and website URL so users who want to find other companies that support the Better Payment Practice Code can find out more about your business.
