AMADA UNITED KINGDOM LIMITED exhibits a clear trend of extended payment cycles, with an average payment time of 51 days. The vast majority of payments (68%) fall within the 31-60 day window, but a substantial 27% consistently exceed 60 days, indicating a trajectory well beyond standard 30-day terms.
While 68% of payments are somewhat predictable within the 31-60 day range, the significant 27% extending over 60 days introduces considerable payment unpredictability and elevated credit risk. The 2% late payment rate, although small, further confirms a minor but present risk of contractual breaches beyond their generally prolonged payment behavior.
Suppliers should anticipate AMADA UNITED KINGDOM LIMITED's payments to typically fall between 31 and 60 days, but must factor in a notable risk of payments extending beyond 60 days. It is recommended to establish clear extended payment terms of at least 60 days and consider requesting upfront payment for larger orders or increasing credit limits cautiously to mitigate potential cash flow delays.
