Is it permissible to work with companies that demand a bribe in exchange for paying dues, given that non-payment delays their disbursement for a long time?

It is permissible to deal with such companies, but do not pay corrupt officials money in exchange for settling your dues unless you are unable to obtain them or fear their procrastination. In that case, there is no blame upon you for paying, and the sin is upon them.
