Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time of 35 days indicates a consistent trend where payments generally exceed standard 30-day terms. A substantial majority (58%) of payments fall within the 31-60 day bracket, suggesting a predictable pattern of extended payment cycles rather than timely ones. Only 40% of invoices are settled within 30 days, reinforcing a trajectory where prompt payment is not the typical operational norm.

Volatility Analysis

With 57% of payments classified as late, CARR'S FLOUR MILLS LIMITED exhibits moderate reliability in adhering to original payment due dates. While unreliable for 30-day terms, the strong concentration of payments between 31 and 60 days (58%) indicates a predictable, albeit extended, cash flow timeline. A small but present 2% of payments extending beyond 60 days introduces a low but consistent tail risk for very long payment delays.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should anticipate an average payment time of 35 days, with a high probability (57%) that payments will be late relative to 30-day terms. It is crucial to factor in these extended payment cycles, specifically targeting the 31-60 day window, when setting credit limits and managing cash flow expectations. To mitigate risk, consider adjusting pricing strategies, negotiating stricter payment terms upfront, or implementing dynamic credit limits based on past payment performance.

No information available

Any other information about payment terms

As a business we will always try and pay to our agreed supplier terms, but we only do a non-wheat payment run once a week which invariably will result in most of our payments appearing late, even if only by a few days. If you take this weekly payment run practice into account and allow 7 days tolerance on the due date, our non-payment % reduces to <10%.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

60

Dispute Resolution Process

The Company advocates a consensual process in achieving dispute resolution, such as mediation/negotiation, in which parties will attempt to reach agreement directly. Pursuing an adjudicative process such as litigation or arbitration, in which a court determines the outcome, is seen as a last resort.
