Trend Analysis
BROTHER U.K. LIMITED demonstrates a primary trend of prompt payments, with 81% of invoices settled within 30 days. Despite an average payment time of 36 days, the trajectory shows a strong inclination towards timely settlements for the majority. However, the 23% late payments suggest some inconsistency in adherence to strict payment terms.
Volatility Analysis
While the majority of payments are timely, the 7% of payments extending beyond 60 days introduces an element of unpredictability for a portion of transactions. The 23% late payment rate indicates a moderate level of volatility, where suppliers cannot reliably expect all invoices to be paid within standard terms. This suggests a manageable risk, but requires suppliers to acknowledge that some payments may deviate significantly from the average.
Summary Analysis
BROTHER U.K. LIMITED generally represents a reliable customer, with a high percentage of prompt payments, making them a viable partner. Suppliers should factor in the 23% late payment rate and 7% exceeding 60 days as a potential cash flow consideration. Mitigating risk involves clear payment terms, active invoice monitoring, and perhaps reserving cash flow for a minority of extended payments.
