Huge news! PASS has been awarded Fair Payment Code Gold – the highest recognition for fair, fast, and reliable payments.
Awarded by the Office of the Small Business Commissioner on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade, this means we pay over 95% of invoices within 30 days.
Why does this matter? Because late payments hurt businesses.
In 2023, 15% of small and medium-sized businesses cited cash flow and late payments as a major obstacle. When payments are delayed, businesses struggle to grow, operations get disrupted, and in worst cases, companies are forced to shut down.
The Fair Payment Code raises the bar, replacing the Prompt Payment Code with a tougher, more ambitious approach. It rewards businesses that commit to clear, fair, and collaborative payment practices—ensuring suppliers get paid on time and cash flow stays healthy.
At PASS, we believe fair payments build stronger businesses and a stronger care sector. By paying on time, we’re helping providers focus on what truly matters: delivering outstanding care.
