The average payment time for NORCROS GROUP is 46 days, with only 30% of invoices settled within 30 days, indicating a consistent delay. A substantial 44% of payments occur between 31-60 days, establishing a clear trend of extended payment cycles for suppliers. This trajectory suggests a company that reliably pays beyond standard 30-day terms.
With 57% of payments being late and an average payment time of 46 days, NORCROS GROUP exhibits low reliability for timely settlements. The significant 26% of payments exceeding 60 days introduces a degree of unpredictability regarding the maximum payment duration. Suppliers face a considerable risk of cash flow disruption due to these consistent payment delays.
Given the consistent delays and high percentage of late payments, suppliers should approach NORCROS GROUP with caution, factoring in extended payment cycles. Key decision factors include managing potential cash flow impacts and ensuring adequate working capital to cover payment lead times. Mitigation strategies could involve negotiating shorter payment terms or adjusting credit limits to reflect the increased risk.
