# Finance ## Paying Vendors Our aim should be to pay vendors at the earliest opportunity, but always ensuring that we keep a positive cash-flow cycle by ensuring that we’re paid by our clients prior to having to pay our vendors. If there is a delay by the client, the vendor should be informed and kept up to date on a regular basis. On a general basis, we pay vendors within ten working days of receiving the client payment related to the work of the vendor, but ideally within two working days. ## Payment Terms for Client NET 7, unless already negotiated. ## ## --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
