Say you install shop lighting. In May you wire a shop for each of them, and bill both on the 6th, on 30-day terms. Both are due on 5 June.
Apple Retail UK Limited pays in 17 days, on average, by its own report to the government for 29 March to 26 September 2026. It runs Apple's UK shops; Apple's other UK companies report separately. That bill is paid on 23 May. Thirteen days before it is due.
Currys Group Limited pays in 56 days, on average, by its own report for 2 November 2025 to 2 May 2026. Another Currys company reports separately. That bill is paid on 1 July, 26 days after it is due.
