Industry ranking
Score of 83.27/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
HOWARD DE WALDEN ESTATES LIMITED exhibits a strong general trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 24 days and 83% of invoices settled within 30 days. However, a consistent minor trend of slower payments exists, with 15% paid between 31-60 days and 2% exceeding 60 days.
Despite the low average payment time, a 25% late payment rate introduces a notable element of unpredictability regarding individual invoice settlement. This indicates that while most payments are timely, approximately one in four invoices will experience a delay, representing a moderate reliability risk for suppliers.
Suppliers can generally anticipate timely payments from HOWARD DE WALDEN ESTATES LIMITED given the strong on-average performance, but must account for the 25% chance of an invoice being paid late. It is recommended to establish clear payment terms and potentially implement a robust payment tracking system to mitigate the risk of delayed settlements.
