Company Review
Trend Analysis
KING LIFTING LIMITED demonstrates a trend of paying beyond standard 30-day terms, with an average payment time of 38 days. A significant majority of payments (58%) are settled within the 31-60 day window, indicating a consistent pattern of extended payment cycles. Only 33% of invoices are paid within 30 days, suggesting that prompt payment is not the typical trajectory.
Volatility Analysis
The company exhibits notable payment volatility, with 20% of payments being late. Furthermore, 9% of invoices extend beyond 60 days, introducing a significant element of unpredictability for a supplier's cash flow planning. This percentage of very late payments presents a material risk factor for reliable and timely revenue recognition.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers should approach KING LIFTING LIMITED with caution, acknowledging the consistent tendency for payments to extend beyond 30 days and the risk of significant delays. Key decision factors include the supplier's capacity to manage an average 38-day payment cycle and absorb potential delays exceeding 60 days for a segment of invoices. To mitigate risk, consider negotiating stricter payment terms, such as requiring partial upfront payment or implementing a shorter net period for a portion of the order.

Dispute Resolution Process
All payment-related disputes should be directed to the Purchase Ledger Team via email or telephone. The team will make every reasonable effort to resolve the issue directly with the supplier first. If a resolution cannot be achieved, the matter will be escalated to the Finance Director for further review and guidance. If the issue remains unresolved and it is deemed necessary after managerial review, we will seek external legal advice to secure an appropriate resolution with the supplier.
