Brush Transformers Limited has an average payment time of 42 days, falling 12 days beyond the standard 30-day benchmark. The majority of payments (44%) are settled in the 31-60 day window, with only 37% paid within 30 days, indicating a consistent pattern of delayed payment rather than prompt settlement. A notable 19% of payments exceed 60 days, suggesting a recurring tail of significantly overdue transactions.
With 24% of payments classified as late, Brush Transformers Limited presents a moderately high level of payment unpredictability for suppliers. The spread across all three payment bands — early, mid, and late — indicates inconsistent payment behaviour rather than a stable, predictable cycle. The 19% over-60-day segment is a particular concern, as it signals irregular cash flow management or potential prioritisation issues on the buyer's side.
Brush Transformers Limited carries a moderate-to-elevated payment risk profile, and suppliers should factor in an effective payment window of 42+ days when managing cash flow and credit terms. It is advisable to negotiate explicit payment terms of 45 days to align expectations with actual behaviour, while applying tighter credit limits until a more consistent payment pattern is established. Suppliers with limited working capital headroom should exercise caution, and consider requesting upfront deposits or staged payments to reduce exposure on larger orders.
