Company Review

Trend Analysis

ARBOR FOREST PRODUCTS LIMITED consistently pays the majority of its invoices (79%) within the 31-60 day window, resulting in an average payment time of 39 days. This trend indicates a preference for settling invoices towards the latter end of typical 30-day terms, with only 15% being paid within 30 days. While payments are generally received, suppliers should expect a consistent trajectory that extends beyond immediate settlement periods.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the high percentage of payments within 31-60 days, the 9% late payment rate and 5% extending over 60 days introduce a moderate level of volatility and unpredictability. This indicates that while most invoices are reliable, a small but notable portion may experience significant delays beyond typical expectations. Suppliers should be aware of this risk factor, as it suggests a degree of inconsistency in settling all obligations on time.

Summary Analysis

Overall, ARBOR FOREST PRODUCTS LIMITED is a reasonably reliable payer, with most invoices settling within a predictable 31-60 day timeframe. Suppliers should factor in an average payment cycle of approximately 39 days when setting expectations and cash flow projections. Consider offering payment terms up to 60 days to align with their typical behavior, and implement proactive follow-up for invoices approaching this threshold to mitigate the 9% late payment risk.
